Re: z39.50 queries to OCLC server

For question #2, I believe use attribute 12 (local number) will work.
Use attribute 1211 may also work, but 12 is probably what you want.

Using yaz or the perl z3950 module, is there any way to get the server to return a record that contains ALL holdings for a particular record, not just the holdings for the state in which the querying library is located? For example, if I use YAZ to send a query to the worldcat server and request a return in usmarc, the record has a single 948 field that shows me the holdings for all libraries in Texas. Is there a way to get a record that contains all holdings?
