Full Program Variable

I'm using Borland C++ 4.52. My program won't read a variable that I created earlier in the program. Does anyone here know why?

Code:

#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int create(char nme[100])
{
	clrscr();
	gotoxy(34,2);
	cout << "STATS:" << endl;
	cout << endl;
	gotoxy(34,4);
	cout << "NAME: " << nme;
	gotoxy(34,5);
	int lvl=1;
	cout << "LEVEL: " << lvl << endl;
	int hp=rand()%6;
	hp=hp+10;
	gotoxy(34,6);
	cout << "HIT POINTS:" << hp << endl;
	int at=rand()%5;
	at=at+1;
	gotoxy(34,7);
	cout << "ARMOR: " << at << endl;
	gotoxy(34,8);
	int gp=0;
	cout << "GOLD PIECES: " << gp << endl;
	gotoxy(39,9);
	getch();
   return 0;
}
int load()
{
	char nme[100];
	int lvl;
	int hp;
	int at;
   int gp;
	int lp4=5;
	while(lp4!=0)
	{
		if(lp4==5)
		{
			ifstream b_file("nme.txt");
			b_file >> nme;
			b_file.close();
		}
		else if(lp4==4)
		{
			ifstream b_file("lvl.txt");
			b_file >> lvl;
			b_file.close();

	}
	return 0;
}

which variable?

The Variables that you load in function load.

Because of scope. You created the variables in main- they aren't accessible in any other function unless you pass them as arguments.

How would you pass them as arguments?
