There are a couple of ways to check the status of a structure.
isDefined("myStruct") will tell you if the variable has been created
isStruct(myStruct) will tell you if the variable is a structure
structCount(myStruct) will tell you if the structure has any keys (and how many keys)
You can use any combination thereof.
