problem compiling testbench "Unknown formal identifier "Width". "

[fpganovice]

Forgive me, I'm sure there is a simple solution to this but I am still very much a beginner with VHDL and am learning as I go along for a Digital Design course I'm currently taking. I'm running into a weird compiling error and was hoping I could get some help sorting through this. I have pasted the testbench and code I am testing underneath. I would greatly appreciate any form of assistance.

I'm trying to compile a testbench on ModelSim and I'm getting the following error:
Unknown formal identifier "WIDTH". The ModelSim compiler cites the line I typed out in red as providing the error.

Thanks alot for any help!
Also, please let me know if there is other information I should provide as this is my first post on the forum.

See, you are trying to pass a generic parameter on top of your tb, which is not allowed. You are allowed to only pass value directly to your uut, this error should be cleared

This answer doesnt make any sense. The code in question has no problems. You can pass generics into a UUT from a testbench without any problems, and there is no problems having generics on a testbench.

The code compiled just fine for me, when I re-ordered your entities. Have you compiled the code in the correct order?

Oops, I missed seeing this declaration

constant WIDTH : positive := 16;
