Let me tell you that you must to remove this "." and compile it again as new meta editors versions don't accept this notation.

so, TVI.r will be TVIr

It will work for sure if you have no any other code errors like "$" or so.

Help with EA MT4 Editor Save/Compile Bug? Can I ask some

Its used in the structure definitions. Metatrade 4 version 600+ do not take "." unless explicitly defined in structure. If you want to recompile remove "." just like Osama mentioned.
