thank you very much for the answer. You currectly
understood my question.
will that be any problem during the importing of
records in any system, if ISO file has interverning
between the record terminator and first character of
leader of the following record?
One more question, what characters are being used as a
record and field terminators in MARC21 and how it is
being represented.
