Description Ben Ostrowsky 2010-11-16 20:24:46 UTC 
When doing a staged import via the web interface, if the file contains a record over 99999 bytes (the limit of the MARC specification), MARC::Record 2.0.2 will choke, causing the job progress bar to freeze in place.  The staff member who is trying to do a staged import is not notified that a problem has occurred.

Workarounds: (1) Convert the file to MARCXML and use bulkmarcimport.pl instead. (2) Update MARC::Record (or, while 2.0.2 remains the latest release, apply http://marcpm.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=marcpm/marcpm;a=commitdiff;h=d354e1f45414bf7f48c76e0de0c1ffba76d38037 by hand).

MARC::Record 2.0.6 is now required.  Is this still a problem as that bug was fixed in MARC::Record 2.0.3 back in 2011?

Closing, thx Jon!
