HERE it has to stop with the error message you provided, not below. The 
code might run for a few more lines, but the problem is here. Your 
mysubset2, btw. we have no idea what that might be, aparently does not 
have 2 dimensions.

Besides, your code is very dirty and it is indeed very easy to make a 
mistake in such code.

You really should start reading some introductory manual as someone 
suggested before. You are not likely to recieve more (different) answers 
to questions of this kind.
