STRUCTURE TYPE NAME EXPECTED 2072

This alarm indicates that the KRL compiler expected a structure type name but encountered a different data type or syntax element during program compilation. The error occurs when attempting to declare or use a structure variable without proper type definition or with incorrect syntax at the specified location in the source code.

Common Causes

  • Missing or incorrect structure type definition before variable declaration
  • Using a non-structure data type where a structure type was expected
  • Syntax error in structure variable declaration (missing type keyword or incorrect format)
  • Referencing an undefined or undeclared structure type name
  • Incorrect indentation or line continuation causing parser to misinterpret structure declaration

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the KRL source code at the line indicated in the error message and verify the structure type name is correctly specified
  2. 2Confirm that the structure type has been properly defined before use (check .src or included files for structure declarations)
  3. 3Verify the syntax matches the expected KRL format: STRUC <structure_name> or VAR <structure_type> <variable_name>
  4. 4Check for typos in the structure type name and ensure it matches the exact definition (case-sensitive)
  5. 5Validate that the structure is declared in the correct scope and that any required include files or libraries are properly referenced
  6. 6Recompile the program after corrections and consult KUKA KRL programming documentation for proper structure syntax
