008/18{LDR/6=\a}{LDR/7=\a|LDR/7=\c|LDR/7=\d|LDR/7=\m}
Example data:

020$z{!$a}
###Abbreviation of fieldSpec or subfieldSpec
As of [MARCspec interpretation] a MARCspec without an explicitly given index is always an abbreviations of n references this example shows how these specs are interpreted.
Example Data:
020 ##$a0394170660$qRandom House$c$4.95
020 ##$a0491001304
Reference to data content of subfield "q" of field "020" if subfield "c" exists.
020$q{$c}
same as
020[0-#]$q[0-#]{$c[0-#]}
same as
020[0]$q[0]{?020[0]$c[0]} OR // true
020[1]$q[0]{?020[1]$c[0]} // false
Example Data:
020 ##$a0394170660$qRandom House$qpaperback$c$4.95
020 ##$a0394502884$qRandom House$qhardcover$c$12.50
Reference to data content of subfield "c" if data content of one repetition of subfield "q" equals the comparison string "paperback".
020$c{$q=\paperback}
same as
020[0-#]$c[0-#]{$q[0-#]=\paperback}
same as
020[0]$c[0]{020[0]$q[0]=\paperback} OR // false
020[0]$c[0]{020[0]$q[1]=\paperback} OR // true
020[1]$c[0]{020[1]$q[0]=\paperback} OR // false
020[1]$c[0]{020[1]$q[1]=\paperback} // false
Reference to data of the first repetition of field "800", if data content of subfield "a" within the context of indicator 2 is "1" of the preceding fieldSpec includes the comparisonString "Poe".
800[0]{800[0]__1$a~\Poe}
An abbreviated subTerm like __1$a
in
800[0]{__1$a~\Poe}
is invalid! An abbreviated subterm MUST only be one of fieldspec or subfieldspec.
Reference of data content of subfield "a" of field "245", if last character of the preceding spec equals the comparisonString "/".
245$a{/#=\/}
same as
245$a{245$a/#=\/}
