Re: [VuFind-General] VuFind error message - premature end of file

[Julia B. <jul...@gm...>]

I am not a MARC format expert, but it looks to me like record isn't as
long as the MARC leader says it is. The first five characters in the
record indicate how long the record is, in characters. Your MARC
record's leader says that the record is 04559 characters long, but
Vim's character-counter tells me that the record is only 04518
characters long.
