My guess would be that data[keys[x]] does not yet exist when you attempt  
to set its member variable_name.
If I am correct, this should work instead:

for(x = 0; x < keys.length; x++)
{
      data[keys[x]] = struct_name(); // call static opCall or other init  
function here
      data[keys[x]].variable_name = some_int;
}
