Vernon CMS Help

Purpose:MARC_FNAME is the primary argument for an XML Import validation that constructs the initials for a given name of a full name that is given in RDA format e.g:

Family Name, Given Name(s)

For instance if the incoming data was:

Jones, Abby Billie Charlotte

the value obtained would be "A B C" which could then be imported to the INITIALS field in Vernon CMS.

This validation works in conjunction with MARC_FNAME, which works on the same initial data, isolating the given names.

Argument Structure: Enter MARC_INITIALS as the validation. There are no further arguments.
