I think you need to check out the MFHD (March format for holdings
data.)  There have been messages on workshops on this on this list.
Many of the newer integrated systems now use MFHD and you will want to
use the correct protocol for the future time you will be migrating to
another system.  Are you sure your current system does not support a
holdings data pattern already?  Perhaps you should check with the
vendor.  Karen.
