I got this error with 2.4 and 3.0. RSI is in the process of fixing it.
From my understanding the error occurs when you use the ON_IOERROR procedure
to trap errors that might occur when converting a string to a double, float,
ect. This causes IDL to lose track of varialbes and thus you get the varaible
undefined error. The only solution that we found was to go back to an older
version. We are using ver. 2.1.1 and waiting for hte "fixed" verion of 3.0.
