Error Applying BCL VRF w/ DOAS Measure

I am trying to apply the whole system VRF with DOAS measure to an OSM coming out of CBECC-Com.

when I do I am getting the following error:

the existing (un-BCL-ified) OSM run to completion with only the normal assortment of errors. I found a number of other similar seeming errors but none of the solutions seem to apply here.

any help would be much appreciated.
