Additional M3 Searching Capabilities
Searching by Record Status
Tip: The record status code appears in Fixed Field 000 in the full MARC record.
The M3 search utility allows you to locate records by record status. This is partic- ularly useful if you want to review the list of records marked for deletion prior to running the deletion utility. To do so:
1. On the Edit menu, click Search. This displays the Search dialog box (Figure 4.45).
2. In the Search For list, select the type of record you want to search.
3. In the record field list, select Record Status.
4. In the corresponding keyword box, type the desired record status subfield code, as shown in the example in Figure 4.45:
• a locates records with an increase in encoding level
• c locates corrected or revised records
• d locates records marked for deletion
• n locates new records
• p locates records with an increase in encoding level from prepublica- tion

Searching by MARC Field Tag Numbers
The M3 search utility allows you to locate records by MARC field tag numbers and subfield codes. To do so:
1. On the Edit menu, click Search. This displays the Search dialog box (Figure 4.46).
2. In the Search For list, select the type of record you want to search.
3. In the record field list, type the desired field tag number (for example,
260) over the default field name. To narrow to a specific subfield, type the field tag number plus the # delimiter character and the subfield code (for example, 260#a).
4. In the corresponding keyword box, type the text you want to locate, as shown in the example in Figure 4.46.
