Search the forums, this has been discussed a number of times before and should be easily found. However, specific to your message...
From the Project directory where this job lives, find the "BP" directory associated with this Job Number - 298. So, cd into RT_BP298 and then view the "JOB.xxx" file noted in the error. Check the code at and around line 429 to get an idea where things are going wrong. Fix the problem.

Actually, that was what I would consider fairly "in detail". What part is unclear?
The Projects directory? If you have a 'standard' install, then cd to the DSEngine directory and slide over from there:
Something else?
You could also trying searching the forums as suggested and going thru other posts on the subject. Do an Exact search for "Variable previously undefined. Zero length string used." to turn them up.
