  The second section contains discussions on the techniques for special processing of data within Three basic groups are treated: the duplication method, the internal coding techniques, and the automatic handling techniques. These allow one to perform separate operations within a bibliographic element, based on a special indication of certain character strings within the text. the types of internal coding techniques used in the field level systems and Methods for special treatment of words or characters within bibliographic text were for the most part introduced to suppmt exact file arrangement procedures and printing operations. The technique of the duplication of bibliographic elements has also been considered in subfield level systems. For instance, in MARC LC, one byte per field is provided containing the sorting field code, even if no filing information at all As mentioned in the description of subfield level systems, two indicators are added for each field present.
