Message . . . . :   The qualified name is not specified correctly.
Cause . . . . . :   A qualified name is formed by specifying the owning
data
  structure name followed by a period (.) followed by the subfield name. It
  cannot contain more than one period, and it cannot start or end with a
  period. The subfield-name part must begin with a character that is valid for
  starting names.

Note the part that says "It cannot contain more than one period."   Then,
look at your code for Key1, the one that failed:

> C     key1          klist
> C                   kfld                    struc.Ph.area

> C                   KFLD                    struc.Ph.suf
> C                   KFLD                    struc.Ph.ext

Now look at your code for key2, the one that didn't fail:

> C     key2          klist
> C                   kfld                    struc.Office


See the difference?  Key1's subfields have more than one period in them,
key2's dont.

Personally, I'd suggest abandoning KLIST's and using more modern
alternatives.
