<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Nina and all:<br>
<br>
Question here!!<br>
I have just encoded the "$e dcrm(mss)" in the 040 in a new MARC
record in OCLC today.<br>
The code is unrecognized in OCLC and, thus, the record will not
verify.<br>
<br>
Can anyone advise on this from OCLC?<br>
Thank you for your help,<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Allison<br>
