Is that code inside of a GAUSS proc? If so, can you post the entire procedure (the code from proc (1) = procname all the way to endp). The error message means that the code is trying to use the value in a variable named resid before resid is assigned a value.

Problem you report
It appears that the problem is in the procedure ofn. They must have declared or used a global variable somewhere else named resid. This procedure will run if you add resid to the list of ofn local variables, like this:

proc ofn(th); @ this proc evaluates filter probs and likelihood @
    local spar,eps,alpha0,phi,sig0,a0,a1,g1,pm,b1,l1,cm,nu,
        eta,eta2,heta,hsig,hq,lambada,hprob,h0,ig,
        iz,fm,chsi,it,f,fit,fx,hw,fj,ij,ap,const,pq,hk,ihk, resid;

Notice I added resid to the end of the list. If the program needs to use this value that is set in ofn that will cause problems later. Probably there is another file that came with this code that first assigns a value to resid. You may need to run that file first. Do you have another file that came with this code that defines resid?

Second problem I found
While looking over the code, I found one mistake. There is an if in the ofn procedure that looks like this:

    if larch == 1; @ Correct heta for leverage effects if desired @
        heta[.,2] = heta[.,2]
            + (l1/a1[1,1])*
            ((resid[nk-1:nk-1+captst-1,1] . ps+1;
        hsig[iz,(iz-1)*ns+1:iz*ns] = a1[iz-1,1]./g1';
        iz = iz+1;
    endo;

That endo at the end needs to be replaced with an endif statement, like this:

    if larch == 1; @ Correct heta for leverage effects if desired @
        heta[.,2] = heta[.,2]
            + (l1/a1[1,1])*
            ((resid[nk-1:nk-1+captst-1,1] . ps+1;
        hsig[iz,(iz-1)*ns+1:iz*ns] = a1[iz-1,1]./g1';
        iz = iz+1;
    endif;

endo is for ending do while loops. if statements need to end with endif.

Problem you report It appears that the problem is in the procedure ofn. They must have declared or used a global variable somewhere else named resid. This procedure will run if you add resid to the list of ofn local variables, like this:

proc ofn(th); @ this proc evaluates filter probs and likelihood @
    local spar,eps,alpha0,phi,sig0,a0,a1,g1,pm,b1,l1,cm,nu,
        eta,eta2,heta,hsig,hq,lambada,hprob,h0,ig,
        iz,fm,chsi,it,f,fit,fx,hw,fj,ij,ap,const,pq,hk,ihk, resid;

Notice I added resid to the end of the list. If the program needs to use this value that is set in ofn that will cause problems later. Probably there is another file that came with this code that first assigns a value to resid. You may need to run that file first. Do you have another file that came with this code that defines resid?

Second problem I found While looking over the code, I found one mistake. There is an if in the ofn procedure that looks like this:

    if larch == 1; @ Correct heta for leverage effects if desired @
        heta[.,2] = heta[.,2]
            + (l1/a1[1,1])*
            ((resid[nk-1:nk-1+captst-1,1] . ps+1;
        hsig[iz,(iz-1)*ns+1:iz*ns] = a1[iz-1,1]./g1';
        iz = iz+1;
    endo;

That endo at the end needs to be replaced with an endif statement, like this:

    if larch == 1; @ Correct heta for leverage effects if desired @
        heta[.,2] = heta[.,2]
            + (l1/a1[1,1])*
            ((resid[nk-1:nk-1+captst-1,1] . ps+1;
        hsig[iz,(iz-1)*ns+1:iz*ns] = a1[iz-1,1]./g1';
        iz = iz+1;
    endif;

endo is for ending do while loops. if statements need to end with endif.
