SUMMARY

ASK and SET fields are not result fields, so if an invalid bookmark name or some other error causes the field to be improperly evaluated, the field will not display an error.

MORE INFORMATION

Errors are normally displayed as the last results of the field; however, because no result is displayed, no indication of the error is given.

An error can usually be detected in the field that uses the bookmark name that is defined in the SET or ASK statement. If the ASK or SET field has an error, the result field that references the bookmark will indicate that the bookmark is not defined.
