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.
  • If the fixed field displays at the top of the record, adds the value ita to the fixed- field element Lang.
  • Checks how the client displays the fixed field and returns a message.
  • If the value is added successfully, returns the message: Value for fixed field Lang added.
