What exactly is the "classification" field for? I'm having problems with modbibitem trouncing on my subclass. It appears that the "class" field in modbibitem.pl contains "$dewey$classification$subclass" and when an item has a subclass but no dewey, the classification gets set to the value that the subclass used to have and the subclass gets blanked out. I don't want to implement a fix for this that breaks whatever you are doing in NZ, but I don't understand why it is this way? Why doesn't modbibitem have separate fields for dewey, classification and subclass? Steve.
