What this example does
  • Logs on to Connexion if not already logged on, using the default authorization and password you selected in Tools > Options > Authorizations tab.
  • Searches WorldCat for record number 1.
  • Adds a new field 500 as the first line of the record–that is, as the first variable field–with no indicators (two spaces between the tag number 500 and the text). Adds the text Field added at line position 1 to the new field. No confirmation message.
  • Adds a new field 500 as the third line of the record with no indicators and the text Field added at line position 3. If the field is added, returns the message: New field successfully added.
  • Adds a new field 500 at the end of the record with no indicators and the text Field added as last line of record. No confirmation message.
