Error: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier

I am writing a code using Visual C++ to access serial port.


Code is given below:-

Code:

HANDLE hSerial= CreateFile(L"COM1", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,0,0,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,0);
    DCB dcb = {0};
    dcb.DCBlength=sizeof(dcbSerialParams);
    dcb.BaudRate=CBR_1200;
    dcb.ByteSize=8;
    dcb.StopBits=ONESTOPBIT;
    dcb.Parity=NOPARITY;

I am getting error in all last five lines in above code at dcb. and error is give below:-


Error: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier


I want to know where I am getting wrong and how to resolve this problem

you need to be a little more specific on exactly which line it happens. perhaps give the definition of what a DCB is.

Does your source file include the <windows.h> header?
