RecordType field exists, still system says it does not

I am trying to assign the Record Type of Opportunity to the Record Type of Contract being created.

 

Within the Opportunity object, there's a standard field called RecordType. However, when I assign this value

 

con.RecordType = opp.RecordType;

 

I get this error message:

 

Error: Compile Error: No such column 'RecordType' on entity 'Opportunity'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names. at line 4 column 22

 

How can I resolve this?

 

Thank you!

I have tried that and this is the error message I get:

 

Error: Invalid Data. 
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
