[DCRM-L] dcrmmss validation

[Deborah J. Leslie]

New codes have to wait six months before use after publication, right? Expressly to give vendors the chance to update validation files.

But LC *has* published the list; you can see it at the link Nina gave:

http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html

The code dcrmmss is listed there as an approved code. Is there somebody you or we could nudge at OCLC to get this added to the validation tables, Jackie and Jay? The code was approved by the MARC Standards Office in September, so it’s been 4 months already--!

Thanks,

Margaret

Nina, it’s LC, not LC, that published the new codes. Next step is for OCLC to add to the validation tables—which we can’t do until LC publishes the list. Or at least I think that’s how it works. Copying Jay Weitz to make sure.

From Nina:
All,

Well, 2017 is starting with a bang...the dcrmmss code does not yet validate in Connexion. I didn't realize that OCLC would have listed the Description Convention Source Codes that don't yet validate, but it's my fault for not testing in Connexion.

You'll have to be patient just a bit longer.

Nina
