First: Define "doesn't work." Does it not load? Does it load, but the command name isn't recognized? Does it accept the command, but nothing happens? If something happens, in what way(s) does it differ from what you expect? Are there any messages? Etc., etc.

It loads but when execute the command it gives error
....
Select object: ; error: bad argument type: lentityp nil
That looks like the kind of error that would happen if you miss in picking something. After that happens, type in [or paste in] at the command line:
!poi
to see whether it found an entity to work with. If that returns a point coordinates list, then you didn't miss, and something else is going on.

Another thing, not related to the specific question:
I don't see anything that sets a value to the POI1 variable [except for '() , which is just nil ], so there will be trouble when a function wants to use it.

Your loop is infinite because the variable "a" is always at 0
You have
(setq a 0)
(while (= a o) ....
But "a" not change....
That's a somewhat peculiar way to do something that is not uncommon, but is usually done without setting an unchanging variable:
(while T ....
which just keeps asking whatever it's looking for, as long as you want to keep going, requiring ESCape to end it. But I agree, there are better ways to do it, that can also be ended with Enter/space, or if you like when object selection is involved, with simply picking in empty space [emulating a way you can close Mtext].

Thank you guys but to be honest I'm not that good and the lisp was created in 2008 so is there solution for the code ?
or to construct a new easier lisp to do the labeling line name in the middle and the manhole sequence with circles at the ends of the line
It should be easy, problem is understanding how it should work, knowing all conditions, and more drawing sample please.

Steps that lisp will do
1- Asking for starting number for MNH
2- Asking for the name of the pipe Line name (examples: K , K-1 , K-1-22)
3- Clicking on the line so the lisp will draw a block with MNH-# and MNH-#+1 at the ends of the line and putting the Line name in the middle
4- after that just clicking on the lines and the sequence will repeat
Most of the issues encountered with the OG lisp are the following
- Layers does not exists
- Blocks does not exists
- Missed selection
- Insertion scale / INSUNITS
- System variable ATTREQ and/or ATTDIA.
Here's what I did:
I'm guessing the first selection is a Manhole Block and the suceeding selections are LINES. [ modified the code to also accept a block for selection.
When any of these blocks are not found, the program will terminate
(tblsearch "BLOCK" "LINE NAME")
(tblsearch "BLOCK" "MANH")
Added the option to add the layers if it does not exist [ You can change this to suit your requirement ]
Note: I did not include the option for linetype.

It's looking for the drawing to contain Block definition(s) of one or more of these names:
"LINE NAME" "MANH" "ARR"
Do you use those? If not, find them in the code and change to the name(s) you use.
