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.
