Wow, Nancy that sounds like you're trying to invoke the free "special" 
function.  

Is that happening in report or clerk?  Do you have any export/import 
or other labels that could be confused by your use of "xxx?"

I'm assuming that you're sure your record rn evaluates correctly and 
is on file (even though I would expect a different error of course).

Have you tried debugger yet?
