Marius,
   You are correct that something in your type specification isn't being 
understood by the TRNSYS kernel. It might have to do with the proforma 
(*.tmf file) or it might have to do with the compiled code behind the 
tmf file. I would recommend that you look at the actual *.lst file that 
is being produced by your simulation and see if you can determine the 
cause of the syntax problem. If not, I would recommend that you contact 
your distributor for assistance.
Best,
  David
