----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Scott, I am not positive that this is linked to the phrase "Scale indeterminable" but I do know that the phrase isn't used anymore. Instead, use "Scale not given." in the 255 field. As for the 034, set the first indicator to 0, second indicator is blank, key in the code letter "a" and nothing else. This should work. Should look like this: 034 1[blank] a [end of field marker] Do not put in a subfield "b" or any other information in the field unless you have coordinates that also need to go in. If you have further problems let me know and perhaps we can work this out over the phone.
