Getting Variables from Option Men --CORRECTION

I have set up two option menus. Each has a script that puts the label
value into a variable:
ON menuPick theItem
IF theitem is "2006" THEN
put "2006" into eYr
ELSE IF theitem is "2007" THEN
put "2007" into eYr
ELSE IF theitem is "2008" THEN
put "2008" into eYr
ELSE IF theitem is "2009" THEN
put "2009" into eYr
ELSE IF theitem is "2010" THEN
put "2010" into eYr
END IF
END menuPick
The other Option Menu has the following script:
on menuPick theItem
if theitem is "2002" then
put "2002" into bYr
else if theitem is "2001" then
put "2001" into bYr
else if theitem is "2000" then
put "2000" into bYr
else if theitem is "1999" then
put "1999" into bYr
else if theitem is "1998" then
put "1998" into bYr
END IF
END menuPick
In a button I have the following script:
ON mouseUp
put (eYr - bYr) into fld "yrFld"
END mouseUp
I keep getting an error message that there is a problem with the left
operant. I ran the debugger and found that neither variable, eYr or
bYr had a value. What is wrong with this script?
