KUKA Robot KRC0876 - SYMBOL IS NOT AT BEGINNING OF EXPR./VALUE ASSIGNMENT 2212

SYMBOL IS NOT AT BEGINNING OF EXPR./VALUE ASSIGNMENT 2212

This syntax error occurs during KRL program compilation when a symbol or operator is encountered in an incorrect position within an expression or value assignment statement. The parser expected the symbol to appear at the beginning of the expression but found it in an invalid location, violating KRL syntax rules.

Common Causes

  • Missing variable name or identifier before an operator (e.g., '= value' instead of 'var = value')
  • Incorrect placement of assignment operator or arithmetic operator within the expression
  • Malformed array or structure access notation with missing base object name
  • Line continuation or syntax error from previous line affecting current statement parsing
  • Special characters or symbols used outside of proper expression context

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the line indicated in the error message and verify proper expression syntax according to KRL language rules
  2. 2Ensure all variable assignments have a valid identifier on the left side of the assignment operator
  3. 3Check that operators (+, -, *, /, =, etc.) are properly positioned with operands on both sides
  4. 4Verify array and structure access notation is correct (e.g., array[index], struct.member) with proper base object names
  5. 5Look for incomplete statements or missing parentheses from previous lines that may affect parsing of the current line
  6. 6Compile the program and address the syntax error by correcting the statement structure to match valid KRL syntax
