Hi Linda

Yes it was the size of the record exceeding that, that meant when it
was being exported as iso2709 it was truncated, and broke zebra. If
you export it as xml (-x) then this limitation doesn't happen.

The only other place I am aware of, that this might be a problem was
if you wanted to export all your records as iso2709 for some other
reason.

Yes and No, it speeds everything up, but when you go to index, you
still need to give zebra the entire record, which without -x will
cause it to be truncated on export.

Hope this helps
