Leader/11 Subfield code count (Leader)
The Subfield code count character position contains a one-character number equal to the number of character positions used for a subfield code in variable data fields . (Each data element in a variable data field is identified by a subfield code.) In USMARC, a subfield code consists of a delimiter ($) and a lowercase alphabetic or numeric data element identifier; therefore, the Subfield code count is always 2.
The Leader/11 element is usually system generated.
