        <p>Hi Bob,</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p> I did check DCM Z1 under MARC Field 046 and the guidelines

          <b>Subject: </b>[Heb-NACO] period of activity and the 046<br>
          <br>
          Folks:<br>
          <br>
          Yet another open letter to Joan and Heidi:<br>
          <br>
          I'm having a difficult time coding the 046 for an "active"
          date. The <br>
          person in question, ha-tsa'ir Yitshak Elisha', S.t, not only
          had his <br>
          named stamped on the cover of the book in hand, but also felt
          obliged to <br>
          note the date he acquired the in-hand manuscript: 604 [1843 or
          1844].<br>
          <br>
          So, the rules say to prefer a solid date to a century date.
           Odd, but <br>
          I'm okay with that.  Thus his 1xx $d will read $d active 1843
          or 1844, <br>
          and per the rules, we like the form [1843, 1844]$2edtf for the
          046. But <br>
          how do I code this in the 046? $f/$g seems to be devoted
          exclusively to <br>
          birth and death, while $s/$t apparently cover the
          creation/dissolution <br>
          of corporate entities.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks in advance.<br>
          <br>
          Cheers<br>
          <br>
          Bob<br>
