Description: MARC records conversion to Aleph sequential (p-file-02) - When the MARC record contains large 880 fields which are splitted into several fields with $$9^, the 880 subfield $$6 is not repeated to the splitted fields.
Solution: This has been corrected: now subfield 6 is repeated to each of the splitted 880 fields.

Description: When the MAB environment is set to RDA format, the imprint is missing in EDI messages.
Solution: This has been corrected.
Now the information from field 419 (used in RDA) has the primary priority. Existing fields 410, 412 and 425 (with the information in non-RDA format) will be ignored. 410/412/425 are only used, if 419 does not exist.
The last version was to take the fields 410/412/425. 419 was only used, if non of these 3 fields exist. This was a problem, because the (old) non-RDA-fields 410/412/425 can exist beside the field 419. Now, the new RDA-field has the higher priority.
