Thank you Jackie and Jay:

I will just keep a folder of dcrmmss records and when I can insert the 
#e in my OCLC/III records I will.

Best regards and have a great weekend,

> Dear Ms. Rich,
> No MARC Code for /Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials 
> (Manuscripts)/ has yet been designated or announced by the Library of 
> Congress.  LC periodically issues /Technical Notice//s/ to announce 
> new MARC Codes; all of the /Technical Notices/ issued since June 2002, 
> up to the most recent issued on 2016 August 5, are online under the 
> heading "Change Announcements" at 
> _http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html_. It should also be noted that 
> all of the announcements include the proviso that "The codes should 
> not be used in exchange records until 60 days after the date of this 
> notice to provide implementers time to include newly-defined codes in 
> any validation tables." As soon as LC announces the code, we could put 
> it on our schedule to be validated in WorldCat at the next available 
> installation following the sixty-day injunction.  In conjunction with 
> that, we’ll also add the new code to the list of descriptive 
> convention codes for rare and archival materials that render a 
> bibliographic record exempt from processing by our Duplicate Detection 
> and Resolution (DDR) software.
> Mr. Haugen is correct that the code LC chooses will almost certainly 
> not include parentheses.  as he also notes, all of the currently valid 
> MARC Codes for Bibliographic and Authority fields 040 subfield $e can 
> be found on the /Description Convention Source Codes/ list at 
> _http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html_. 
> Each of the previous five DCRM publications has an assigned code and 
> we can expect that DCRM(MSS) will get one as soon as LC can work it out.
> In the meantime, you may want to keep track of all the records you 
> create under DCRM(MMS) so that you can add the appropriate code to 
> field 040 subfield $e once it is validated.
