Program consolidation problem

I'm trying to consolidate four programs into one; They all create a
schedule based on attribute information.
I'm trying to pass some block names to the program, but it keeps hanging at
the following lines and I get this error message:

strHeader is the name of one of the blocks in my drawing.

"bad SSGET list value"
Error: bad SSGET list value

(setq ss1 (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "INSERT") (cons 2 strHeader))))
(if ss1
(progn
(command "erase" ss1 "")
(command "purge" "a" "*" "N")
)
)

Thanks in advance!

 

I'm sorry... strHeader is a variable that holds the name of the block.
*I* knew what I meant.

AH HA!!

I didn't define ss1 as a local variable so the program kept callin' it quits
on me.
