I'm guessing you sent the version that works, and the one that doesn't omits this:
rx;(*Error unless some expression is here.??*)
But that means you have For[...]*matx[[rx]]=....
That Sets the result of a multiplication, and Times won't allow it.
It should be For[...];matx[[rx]]=...
If I knew what you're really trying to do, I could probably rewrite this in two or three lines of functional code.
