Yes, that kind of makes sense. But it would be much better to check that the required field exists (using isValidField()) before initializing a (potentially large !) memory area and calling readField().
I don't think such cases are rare: many data files have "holes" and it could very well happen that a field which existed in the past is not in a newer data file. What surprises me the most, is that I remember seeing an error message of the kind "... file could not be loaded entirely due to missing fields" in such a case in the past. Has something been changed here, or is it just that there are other conditions to meet to get that message ?
