RTF Template Set UBE Error cause communication failure

I have a report with an attached RTF template.  When running that report, there is a processing option that is checked.  If the processing option is blank, it will call set UBE error in the UBE.  When running without a template attached, the PDF will open and show the error.  When attaching a template, when running the UBE, it ends with a communication failure error and the PDF will not open.  Is there a recommended solution, for code on the RTF template, for handling this type of error setting in the UBE?  Thank you!

A little more information.  The XML isn't generated, so the RTF is going to fail.  The XML doesn't generate because after the set UBE error, we stop processing.  I can either move the stop processing command and pump an error to the RTF, and/or write to the work center.  Unless someone else has an idea?
