[Heb-NACO] Date Status (DtSt) and Dates in the fixed field

All,

This may sound like a newbie question but I have never seen an official policy on coding the date status for materials that only have a Hebrew date.  It's clear in RDA and the PS's how to transcribe the date in the 264.   Example from the book I'm cataloging:

673 [1912 or 1913]

I have seen this coded in the fixed field as:

DtSt: s      Dates 1912 ,

DtSt: q      Dates 1912 ,   1913

Is there an official policy on MARC coding for these fixed fields?  I've done a little hunting on Heb-NACO and couldn't find any official guidance.

Thanks.

Caroline
