The problem is, when you run the script it's looking for a handler
called "replace_chars" that belongs to the Finder. To get it to work,
you should change that line to
set x to my replace_chars(ourText, findIt, replaceItWith)
By the way, you seem to be throwing away the result of the replacement.
Replace_chars will be working on a copy of the strings, so nothing gets
changed.

Subject: Handler Call "can't continue" Illustrator CS
I'm having a bad day. I just started a new script to find and replace
text in AI CS and right off the bat I'm having issues. the first part of
the script seems to do the right thing but then it errors on the handler
with "Can't Continue". I can't find a reference to figure out what is
up.
Is it the "ourText" variable? Maybe it doesn't like the list. Even when
I "hard-wire" the variable it still doesn't work.
Anyone? Anyone?
Does anyone already have or know of a find and replace (text) script
for illustrator? i can't find one.
tell application "Illustrator CS"
activate
tell document 1
set ourText to contents of every text frame as list
set findIt to "JobNumber" as text
set replaceItWith to "5ABSP-279" as text
tell application "Finder"
set x to replace_chars(ourText, findIt,
replaceItWith)
return ourText
end tell
end tell
end tell
on replace_chars(this_text, search_string,
replacement_string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text
end replace_chars
