Wrapped fields

Boston College are using a propriety extension to the MARC standard to store long fields. Here is an example.

Subfield 505a is 2139 characters long, it has been split over three 505 fields. The lengths of these fields in the MARC directory are 1004, 1005 and 144 bytes. The first two 505 fields end with "++" to indicate that the subfield continues in the next field. Our MARC parser expects each field to have a subfield separator after the two indicators, in this record the second and third 505 fields don't include a subfield separator.

The Boston College library the web interface fails to handle these wrapped fields correctly.
