Nested for loops often fail if the ids are not explicitly specified. 
For example

for any a b c: for num 1984/2000:

will fail but

for X in any a b c: for Y in num 1984/2000:

will work.

This appears to be a bug in the for ado. Been bitten by this 
hemipteran more than once.

Although I'm not sure what you are trying to do with "replace z=YX".
