# Builtins.Project\_From\_Non\_Union(3kaya)

Tried to read a field incorrectly

## NAME

Builtins::Project\_From\_Non\_Union - Tried to read a field incorrectly

## SYNOPSIS

**Builtins::Project\_From\_Non\_Union(** **)**

## DESCRIPTION

This Exception is thrown when a field is projected from a data type that does not have fields, for example:

-

   a = "Hello".world;

In the example, the compiler would catch the error - in practice this error can occur when accessing an uninitialised value, or a value with inconsistent type information due to foreign function calls.
