|  | **DefaultCategory** | **ASTRING, PRIVATE** |

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **DefaultCategory** is a string that is a classification of the type of error. This property is set by the SetCategory. The Init method sets the DefaultCategory to 'ABC'. When the category is changed by SetCategory, the new category becomes the default category.

This property is now private, and is processed through the [[setdefaultcategory set default error category .htm|SetDefaultCategory]] and [[getdefaultcategory get default error category .htm|GetDefaultCategory]] methods.
