Error 3 error C2226: syntax error : unexpected type 'my_profile'

Question

Problem

The following is part of the code snippet for my program:

Code

computer_entry:
    {
        system("cls");
        system("color 4F");
        char m2;
        cout << "Profile: " << ob1.username << "\n\n" << "COMPUTER ENTRY: \n";
        cout << "\n1. Add new computer\n2. Show computer\n3. Update Record\n4. Delete Record\n5. Back\n";
        cin >> m2;
        switch (m2)
        {
        case '1':
        {
                    ob5.add_new_computer();
                    goto computer_entry;
                    break;
        }
        case '2':
        {
                    ob5.show_computer();
                    goto computer_entry;
                    break;
        }
        case '3':
        {
                    ob5.update();
                    goto computer_entry;
                    break;
        }
        case '4':
        {
                    ob5.del();
                    goto computer_entry;
                    break;
        }
        case '5':
        {
                    goto master_entry;
                    break;
        }
        default:
        {
                   goto computer_entry;
                   break;
        }
        }
    }
    if (ob5.trigger_computer_entry == 1)
    {
        ob5.trigger_computer_entry = 0;
        goto computer_entry;
    }


my_profile:
    {
        system("cls");
        system("color 01");
        cout << "Profile: " << ob1.username << "\n\n" << "MY PROFILE: \n";
        ob9.my_pro_file = ob1.my_file;
        ob9.my_profile_details();
        _getch();
        goto B;
    }

change_password:
    {
        system("cls");
        system("color 02");
        cout << "Profile: " << ob1.username << "\n\n" << "CHANGE PASSWORD: \n";
        ob10.change_user = ob1.change_pass;
        ob10.change_passcode();
        if (ob10.trigger_A == 1)
        {
            ob10.trigger_A = 0;
            goto A;
        }
        else if (ob10.trigger_B == 1)
        {
            ob10.trigger_B = 0;
            goto B;
        }
    }

Error Message

When one tries to build it up, it generates 16 similar errors as follows:

Error 3 error C2226: syntax error : unexpected type 'my_profile' for the following:

• my_profile
• member_entry
• computer_entry
• change_password

Any help on how to solve and remove this error since there is no enough documentation on how to solve it in Microsoft Docs as found here: Microsoft C2226 error Documentation.

I tried to check and use the help shown here: Stack overflow but it didn't work.

Solution

I have just solved it by removing the ambiguity of the names. I differentiated between the class names and those referred by the goto statement. This is shown below:

my_profile1:
{
    system("cls");
    system("color 01");
    cout << "Profile: " << ob1.username << "\n\n" << "MY PROFILE: \n";
    ob9.my_pro_file = ob1.my_file;
    ob9.my_profile_details();
    _getch();
    goto B;
}

While the ones in the class remained the same.
