Ok
In UNIMARC it’s important that indicators must be the rights one´s.
From the IFLA Manual:

Indicators

Indicator 1: blank (not defined)
Indicator 2: Form of Name Indicator
This indicator specifies whether the name is entered under the first occurring name (forename) or in direct order or whether it is entered under a surname, family name, patronymic or equivalent, usually with inversion (EX 5).

0 Name entered under forename or direct order
1 Name entered under surname (family name, patronymic, etc.)
Example:

EX 5
700 #0$aMao Tse Tung
700 #l$aMao,$bTse Tung
Chinese names are in normal usage (outside cataloguing) written with the family name first. This results in differing treatment among cataloguing codes. Mao Tse-Tung (to use one possible rendering of the name into the roman alphabet) may be entered according to some cataloguing codes as: Mao Tse-Tung; according to others as Mao, Tse-Tung. This is because some codes feel that the punctuation, in this case a separating comma ',' represents the division between family name and given names while others feel that a comma denotes inversion from the usual form and omit it here since no inversion has been required.

Note that when the name is entered in direct order, i.e. under the name which comes first, and the whole of the name is entered in the same subfield, the second indicator, Form of Name Indicator, is set to 0. However, if the first element is regarded as a surname by analogy with Western treatment of surnames, then the second indicator is set to 1.
So because of this, in UNIMARC, rules in cataloguing module should be create warnings to alert cataloguers about the wrong options.
Others fields too have this situation but in different ways like field 225:

Indicators

Indicator 1: Form of Title Indicator

The access point form of the series should be recorded in a linking entry 410 field. This indicator specifies whether the series statement is the same as the access point form as recorded in field 410.

0 Not the same as the established form

The agency preparing the record considers the access point form in 410 differs from the series statement in 225 (EX 1, 6).

EX 1
225 0#$aOccasional paper$fBritish Museum$x0412-4815$vno. 33
410 #0$171002$aBritish Museum$12000#$aOccasional papers
EX 6
225 0#$aWorld films$iFrance today$i= La France aujourd'hui

Can you elaborate a bit more? What do you mean?
