				The format of this element depends on the status (STAT), above
				For a new record (STAT=n), the terminal and operator codes are printed (e.g., L3NQ C8A) For another system's record (STAT=m), the tape identification number and the other system's control number are printed: s a nnnnnnnn vviii s = MARC (or other system's) service code C = Books (All) E = Books (English) F = Visual materials J = Subject Authorities M = Music N = Name Authorities O = OCLC, Inc. P = Maps S = Serials U = Archives/Manuscripts X = Books (COMARC) Note: Most of these codes are hypothetical. Currently, only C, N, O, S, U & X are used (usually blank), or "o" for OCLC data nnnnnnnn = Numeric part of LC card number or OCLC control number vviii = Volume and issue number of MARC tape or a "dummy" number assigned by NUL for other tapes For a copied record (STAT = c or f), the original record number and its revision date (R/DT) are printed. If the record came from another file, its processing unit code is also printed (e.g. AAA1234 4/26/84 NU)
