In the second case it will try every distance from :2011.B through :2419.B (note that the range command does not include the ending number in the range). This means if the structure is missing <i>any</i> of those residues then the distance command will fail with the error you got, since the atom spec will only select one atom.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So you either need to explicitly use just the residue numbers that exist, or you need to test if the residue you are about to try to use exists.
