Hi Wei,
first of all a question:

in line 39 you write:
}# start main program

is a comment like this one allowed? I thought it should be

} ;#comment

or

}
#comment

doesn't vmd say:

extra characters after close-brace

?

Concerning your error message, have to check later.
It looks like you are trying to access a variable "Call", e.g.,

$Call num

or something like that.
Maybe, you can put output statements after some atomselect commands.
Apparently, the error is occurring in the beginning, the selection
numbers are small (2, 5, 8, 11, 14)
