Errors reading data file?

Hi all -- I tried loading a data file with the following command:

This appeared to work fine, except it silently skipped 400 records (out of 1200). It turns out, some of the text fields included quotes, and I needed to use 'quote = ""'. Why wasn't there an error message? Is there some way to enable one? -- Chris

Can you please specify a very short example (5 lines or so) that you think fails without appropriate error message? Uwe Ligges
