I just posted a new update. The update includes a major rewrite of the merge algorithm, as well as a few bug fixes and small enhancements. Here’s the list:
- Update: Merge Function — this is a rewrite. The function was rewritten to provide a bit more flexibility, better performance, and a framework for exposing the values used to calculate match points so users can modify weighting if they have specific values that they want to give more importance.
- Bug Fix: Find all jump list would report not data found when LDR data was queried.
- Bug Fix: Jump to record — wouldn’t jump if the record was the last item on a page.
- Enhancement: Z39.50 — removed the 3 database query limit. Limit has been bumped up to 250, though at some point, I need to take a look at redoing the interface to make this type of query casting more friendly.
- Bug Fix: Change Indicator Function — when using two wildcards, the indicators search would report no items found. This has been corrected.
As always, you can find the new updates at:

Dear Terry, Thanks for the great program. However, when using the swap function it will resulted into multiple entries like this:
=020 \\$a0521497051 (hbk.)$b0521497051 (hbk.)$b052149785X (pbk.)
=020 \\$a052149785X (pbk.)$b0521497051 (hbk.)$b052149785X (pbk.)
from the original data
=020 \\$a0521497051 (hbk.)
=020 \\$a052149785X (pbk.)
Command used is Swap Field Data to copy all Tag 020 subfield a to new Tag 020 subfield b. The function will create multiple subfield b in single tag based on total no of tag 020.
If there are 20 Tag 020, each of TAFG 020 will have 20 subfield b.
So, this is how it should work. I can look at see if I can make some adjustments, but If you need to copy data from one subfield to another within the same field — the swap field function isn’t the correct function to use.
