I'm trying to run the following code, ---- I had another piece of code that
looks exactly the same , just var name differences, that one runs fine,
but this one gave errors:

where I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

aa = load 'b' as (x:int , y:int);

b = group aa by x;

c = group b by group ;

-- describe c;
-- c: {group: int,b: {(group: int,aa: {(x: int,y: int)})}}

d = foreach c {
       xx = foreach b generate FLATTEN(aa) as (o:int, p:int);
       generate group , MIN(xx.x);
    };

dump d;

Try replacing MIN(xx.x); with MIN(xx::x);

The xx.x syntax returns a scalar IF the xx relationship only has one tuple.
If it doesn't it fails. The xx::x syntax refers to the x values in the xx
relationship.

This is a common cause of confusion that we're looking to correct.

thanks, but the error msg is for the line before the xx.x

also I removed the xx.x completely and it still gave errors

Looks like a bug. Change a into $1 works for me.
