KUKA Robot KRC0672 - “DEF” OR “DEFFCT” EXPECTED 2008

“DEF” OR “DEFFCT” EXPECTED 2008

This alarm indicates that a DEF or DEFFCT (function definition) declaration was expected in the KRL program code, but the compiler encountered something different or malformed according to 2008 KRL syntax standards. The parser failed to recognize valid function definition syntax at the point where it was required.

Common Causes

  • Missing or incorrect DEF or DEFFCT keyword at the beginning of a function declaration
  • Incorrect function signature syntax or malformed parameter list
  • Missing opening parenthesis or curly brace in function definition
  • Function declared outside of proper program structure or scope
  • Syntax error in return type specification or function name identifier

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the KRL source code around the error location and verify DEF or DEFFCT keyword is present
  2. 2Check that function parameters are correctly enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas
  3. 3Verify the function declaration follows proper KRL syntax: DEF <FunctionName>(<parameters>) or DEFFCT <ReturnType> <FunctionName>(<parameters>)
  4. 4Ensure the function definition is placed in the correct program structure, not inside another function or invalid context
  5. 5Check for missing or extra special characters (parentheses, braces, semicolons) that might confuse the parser
  6. 6Compile the program to generate a detailed error report and consult the KRL 2008 language reference for correct syntax
