Patrick, I would recommend not to worry about that just yet. As a first cut it's quite alright if a traceback in the formatter is just passed through by the format() call without adding any indication of where in the format string it happened. There are tons of ways to debug that.

I can't see how adding a record alone helps anything whatsoever. Wouldn't you also need to display the record somehow? So lets start with that (and all over again): What is it (precisely) that you want to display? Given what program, what error, what should the output be? Or, if there is not to be any output at any time: what is the purpose of the record? Regards, Martin
