Stumped on intermitant error.....

When running a routine, the code below stops at the command "insert" line
and prints the
error shown below....If I re-run the code, the routine works fine... It
almost acts like it is looking for input
to the layer command.
Anyone have any thoughts why this would not work, then work just fine when
run again?
Thanks a million this one has me stumped!
;***** start of code ****
(setq sstemp (ssadd))
;**** insert lower die shoe threads ****
(setq temp inspt);just for testing
(tp "in draw_top_view_balance_block tp300")
(command "insert" "THX5-16-18" "non" inspt "" "" "")
(tp "in draw_top_view_balance_block tp310")
(setq ent (entlast))
(ssadd ent sstemp)
(tp "in draw_top_view_balance_block tp340")
(if ent
(command "change" ent "" "P" "layer" "lds" "")
(notify "in draw_top_view_balance_blocks and there is no ent")
)
;****end of code ****

Bob,
Hint
1) What command is the error prompting for?
2) Do you have that command in your posted code?
Why should people bother reading code that doesn't include the problem
command?
Rule
**ALWAYS** post sub-functions.

Problem (could) be here:
(command "change" ent "" "P" "layer" "lds" "")
.. IF you do not have a layer called 'lds' .. will fail.
So, I recommend Making that layer, before changing
ent (to) that layer.
e.g.
(if ent
(progn
(command ".layer" "M" "lds" "")
(command "change" ent "" "P" "layer" "lds" "")
); progn
(notify "in draw_top_view_balance_blocks and there is no ent")
); if

It is failing at the insert line.... at least thats
what the test points are telling me... but yes, the error looks like something
from the layer command.... maybe I will try to remove the layer command, and
see if the problem goes away... I have not tried that. I don't know how the test points could be wrong
but... I have seen stranger things happen! Thanks for the help....
