Simple .lc Script to INSERT data...?

[Alex Tweedly]

Somebody has to say it ....

that's one of the reasons why "Variable checking (aka explicitVariables) 
is so useful, it helps to catch things like this.

Of course, it is unfortunately not available in LC Server scripts :-(
So I should go add an enhancement request.
The only reason I haven't done that before is that my typical LCServer 
script looks like

<?lc
set the errormode to inline
start using stack "thewholething"
justdoit
?>

and all the real code lives within stacks, which can be developed and 
debugged locally.
