A request I have been dreading has finally surfaced, a major collection
shift. Naturally, in order to facilitate this, I am supposed to
change the locations on all records in a particular LC classification.
Identifying these records is not difficult with SAS. However, I have
little idea about how to update the copy/holdings record. (assume
that the new location is location and a sublocation). Has anyone
else out there had to do this sort of thing? Any hints on technique
or code you want to share would be greatly appreciated (SAS or
other languages)!
