BYTE type is causing this three errors (maybe)

Hi, When i save a model as a .cpp (Opengl) it writes this line: static BYTE face_indicies[12][9] but the compiler give me these three errors in that line: error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'face_indicies' error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int I think it doesnt recognize the type BYTE...How can i solve it?
