| **SetField** | Sets the substitution value of the %Field macro. |
| //fieldname// | A string constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that indicates which field produced the error. |

The **SetField **method sets the substitution value of the %Field macro. This value replaces any %Field symbols within the error message text.

**Implementation:**

Assigns the //fieldname //parameter to the ErrorClass.FieldName property.

**Example:**

** !Lookup on State Code failed**

** GlobalErrors.SetField('State')  !set field that failed**

** GlobalErrors.ThrowMessage(Msg:FieldNotInFile,'State File')  !process the error**
