When cataloging television, and the city of broadcast is known, code at the country/province level. For all other television, code at the country level e.g., for American programs, use 'xxu'. Code for the first country in the 257 field. For unpublished materials, code for the place of production or execution.

NOTE: When the country of production has a two-letter code (e.g. 'fr' for France), be sure to add a blank after it.

If not all the holdings are the same rough length, use the "longest" to calculate rough length. NOTE: This data was lost in data migration between ORION1 and TAOS.
