Captions

The Field 853 contains subfields that correspond to subfields in the 853X and/or 863.
These captions are used for display purposes, to give the viewer a variable that will be understood within the given context.

For example the caption (month) will display a given value dependent upon the corresponding variable in either the 853X or the 863.
Thus a value of 05, given that the language code is eng, will result in a display value of May.
