Character Position Definition and Scope

Forty character positions (00-39) that contain positionally-defined data elements that provide coded information about the record as a whole or about special aspects of the 1XX heading or 4XX/5XX tracing fields. Undefined character positions contain a blank (#). All defined character positions must contain a defined code; for some 008 positions, this may be the fill character (|). The fill character may be used (in certain character positions) when a cataloging organization makes no attempt to code the character position. Field 008 is not repeatable.

Fill character is not allowed in field 008 positions 00-05 (Date entered on file) or 09 (Kind of record). Code n (Not applicable), when it is defined for a data element, indicates that the character position definition does not apply to the record.

These coded data elements are potentially useful for retrieval and data management purposes.

CHARACTER POSITIONS

00-05 - Date entered on file

Computer-generated, six numeric characters that indicates the date the MARC record was created. The date is given in the pattern yymmdd (yy for the year, mm for the month, and dd for the day).

Date entered on file in 008/00-05 is never changed. The date and time of latest transaction information in field 005 changes each time a transaction is made to the record. The latest transaction information enables an organization handling more than one version of a record to identify the most current version. The fill character (|) is not allowed in any of these positions.
