Assembling a problem set, I have encountered messages like the following. This may be obvious, but I can't seem to find how to interpret this even in terms of identifying which problem in the set is causing the error message???

My guess is that such errors show up when an invalid parameter gets passed to a built-in webwork routine.

I've seen such errors alot when I use the display_matrix command incorrectly. I've learned by experience where to look for the error, but still can't use the error message to track down the specific part of my problem code causing the error.

This particular error is occuring because there is no open date defined for the set. I believe that if you define an open date this will go away. That said, this condition should be handled more gracefully.
