CONTROL SUBFIELDS
$2 Subject system code $3 Authority entry record number $5 Tracing control $6 Interfield linking data $7 Script $8 Language of cataloguing These subfields are defined for all 2-- heading, 4-- and 5-- tracing, and 7-- linking heading fields although they are only used under specific circumstances, thus will never occur in some blocks. Several of these subfields may also appear in the 3-- Note fields. The introductory sections for each of these blocks indicates which of these subfields may appear in those blocks. When these subfields are used they precede all other subfields in the field.

means that $3 may be used in the 400, 500 and 700 fields but not in the 200 field itself. 200 HEADING - PERSONAL NAME (Repeatable for alternative script forms)
