Unable to read marc21 file exported from NewGenLib #71
Description
I take a file exported from NextGenLib (http://verussolutions.biz/web/content/download) software which contains around 1500 records in MARC21 format. When i try to open it using pymarc 3.0.3 following error gets thrown:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "convert_marc21_records.py", line 18, in
for record in reader:
File "/Users/alexcorbi/Developing/ODC/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/six.py", line 530, in next
return type(self).**next**(self)

raise NoFieldsFound
pymarc.exceptions.NoFieldsFound: Unable to locate fields in record data
However if i try the sample files provided with the library, they get read properly. Is there any difference between MARC21 files?
