KUKA Robot KRC0810 - “ENDWHILE” MISSING 2146

“ENDWHILE” MISSING 2146

This alarm indicates a syntax error in the KRL program where an ENDWHILE statement is missing or improperly placed. The parser encountered the end of a WHILE loop structure without finding the required ENDWHILE keyword to properly close the loop block.

Common Causes

  • Missing ENDWHILE statement at the end of a WHILE loop block
  • Incorrect nesting of WHILE loops with mismatched ENDWHILE statements
  • Typo in ENDWHILE keyword (e.g., 'END WHILE', 'ENDWH', 'ENDWHILE;')
  • ENDWHILE placed at wrong indentation level or in wrong scope
  • Missing or extra braces/keywords disrupting loop structure syntax

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Open the KRL program file and locate the line number referenced in the error message
  2. 2Review all WHILE loops in the program and verify each has a corresponding ENDWHILE statement
  3. 3Check for proper spelling and syntax of ENDWHILE - ensure no extra spaces or characters
  4. 4Verify correct nesting of loops by matching each WHILE with its corresponding ENDWHILE at the proper indentation level
  5. 5Use the KRL editor's bracket/brace matching feature to identify unmatched loop structures
  6. 6Correct the syntax error by adding the missing ENDWHILE statement or fixing the existing one, then recompile and test the program
