I'm no expert, but I think that possibly your code is using & in the
wrong way - as far as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong guys!!) &
means "complete the previous command then do the thing after me" - so
your code actually reads:

k=0
for i=0,8759 do begin
x=vbs(2,i)
if x gt 0.0 then x=0
k=k+1
vbs(2,i)=x
endfor

or

k=0
for i=0,8759 do begin
x=vbs(2,i)
if x gt 0.0 then k=k+1
x=0
vbs(2,i)=x
endfor

To get the behaviour that you want I think you need another begin...end set:

k=0
for i=0,8759 do begin
x=vbs(2,i)
if x gt 0.0 then begin
k=k+1
x=0
vbs(2,i)=x
end
endfor
