It remains my opinion that when a program falls over with an array
index error, then there is a problem with the program.  Even if the
input file has no records.  As a consumer, I would never, ever accept
such a program into production and as a programmer, I would feel
ashamed to let one like that out of the test environment



If this is working as designed, then have the author document that an
array index error is the expected output, and what to do when it
occurs.  Get that in writing, and then give that note to your
management, who can then decide if the author should be paid for his
'work' or not.
