What do you mean by "there was a reference to the field in automatic
processing but the field was not defined"?  Do you mean it was defined
without any attributes, or do you mean something else?

Are you sure you didn't get any warning?

Try the following:

    Create a 1-line auto processing with:

        aa

    Create a 1-line output processing with:

        aa(10,*)

You should get the following when saving the output prc:

    Warning: Line   1 - AA is used without an attribute in 'auto' processing
