Structure of the Codes
Information about the structure of the codes for a particular list is presented at the beginning of the corresponding part. The USMARC codes listed in this online help use only lower case alphabetic characters, and in some cases, numeric characters 0 through 9. No code exceeds the maximum of eight characters in length. Some codes are limited to less than eight characters (e.g., relator codes are always three characters).
