I agree there is something odd going on if in the debugger tMins has 31 
as the value but when run the script outside of the debugger you get an 
error.

What is the code before it in the handler? (Indeed what is the code for 
the whole handler!)

The tMins var is presumably local, and so must be being initialized with 
a value somewhere when running in the debugger; outside of the debugger 
the error you are getting is because tMins has value "tMins" which is 
not a number until it is initialized (as its an unquoted literal at that 
point - as I'm guessing you have explicitVariables/VariableChecking 
turned off).

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
