Yes, some compilers might allow that, but this is Modula-2, not PL/I which had
such 'pseudovariables' (and even in ANSI C, you can't cast an l-value).

If you must cast, as opposed to using declared set types, then try

  tmpbuf[i] = TmpBufElementType ( BITSET (inbuf[i]) / BITSET (key[kp]) )

or something similar.
