Well, I'm not a developer, but other RDBMSs I have worked with, just spew
out an error log for such tripe, and continue on their merry way with the
next record in line. PROGRESS for instance, way different then gbak, but
it displays an error counter as it restores records, it doesn't stop
because of one record, that's kinda defeatist.
