I am trying to create a schema for a flat file where all of the fields in a
given record may or may not exist.  Each record is separated by CRLF.  For
example, a record can have up to 32 fields, but only the first 29 have data,
the CRLF is placed immediatly after the last character in field 29.  I tried
the allow_early_termination option, but found that this is only effective
when the last field in the record is truncated.  Is there a way to create a
schema to handle 1 or more fields being left off of a record?
