I don't know if this is relevant to your problem or not, but I was getting
the same Variable is undefined message when I used ON_IOERROR to trap errors
in my widget based application. The following dialog between support@rsinc.com
and me may be relevant:

>> 4. There appears to be a problem with the ON_IOERROR statement (which I can
>> only get to manifest itself with widget-based applications).
>> ...
>> This application eventually leads to an IDL error if the ON_IOERROR trap is
>> taken at least once. The error type and its location don't seem to be
>> reproducible.If there is no Xmanager background procedure, errors still occur
>> but much less often. (I ran into this behavior when my production code
>> produced the error "Array has corrupted descriptor". I knew something was not
>> kosher!)
