2) I always have the habit of using PINI=YES in records to avoid the “UDF”.


To control the severity of the undefined (UDF) state, please use the field UDFS that was introduced in release 3.15.1 (back in 2012).
PINI-processing a record while its inputs are still down is not really making it well-defined.

Old habits... I know.
But really, in most cases, UDFS=NO_ALARM will achieve what you want (remove the pink INVALID signs) - without hiding the information that an input was never read.
