LOCATE is a command, not a function. It does not return anything.
You're missing an "=" between temp.source and '777' too.
Also, the IIF is terminated after '777' - you've got too many ")"s

Use LOCATE then FOUND() - or better yet, SEEK() on a tag.

LOCATE FOR temp.fyr = '2002' AND temp.source = '777'
lcDesc= IIF(FOUND(),temp.descr," ")

better

** need INDEX ON fyr+source TAG tagname
lcSearch = PADR("2002",FSIZE("fyr","temp"))+PADR("777",FSIZE("source","temp"))
lcDesc = IIF(SEEK(lcSearch,"temp","tagname"),temp.descr," ")
