At least for William's case #1 (missing macro definition), it would require 
a change in dbLoadRecords(). I'd rather not impose name restrictions on 
process variables - even if it is just for "NPP". The appropriate action 
would be to have dbLoadRecords to log the error, and:
	o if in record()	- delete the record or dbLoadRecords fatal error.
	o if in field()	- set to the default value
