Local function definitions are illegal error?

I keep getting this error

error C2601: 'find_ave_bal' : local function definitions are illegal


that is pointing to this code

Code:

	double find_ave_bal(int ID [], int num_bal)
	
	{	
		double subtotal = 0;
		double total;

		for (int j = 0; j < num_bal; j++)
		{
			subtotal += ID [j];
		}
			total = subtotal / num_bal;

		return total;

	}
}

and this is the code that comes directly before it

Code:

	//display output in table form

	cout<<"ID Number"<<setw(16)<<"Balance"<<setw(20)<<"Difference from Average"<<endl;

		for ( ID[j] = 0; ID[j] < n; ID[j] = ID[j] + 1)
		{
			cout<<setw(4)<<ID [j]<<setprecision(2)
				<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint)
				<<setw(16)<<bal<<setw(20)<<setprecision(2)
				<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint)
				<<find_ave_bal (ID [j], num_bal)<<endl;
		}
		
	return 0;
}

I can't seem to figure out why I am getting this error. It is the only error I am getting at this point and so far, everything that I have tried has not worked. Thanks in advance for any help

i told you it will almost certainly be a missing brace. zip up your project and ill take a gander.

I hope this works... thanks for the help!!
Much Appreciated!

I have taken the crap from your source so that the problem is now easily highlighted. fix it yourself.

Code:

//Alicia Harris
//Open Lab 7
//CSIS 240
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

//function prototype

double find_ave_bal(int, int);

//main function
int main ()
{	
	int n, j;
	int ID [100] = {0};
	int bal [100] = {0};
	int num_bal;
	double ave_bal;
	double sum_bal;
	
	//Loop to input the ID and balance

	for (n = 0; n < 100; ++n) // this loop has no ending brace FIXME
	{
	    cout<<"Please enter the account ID and account balance, -1 to to stop: "<<endl;
	    cin>>ID[j]>>bal[n];
	    if (ID[j] < 1000 || ID[j]	> 9999)
	    {	
		    cout<<"Invalid ID, please reenter: "<<endl;
	    }
	
	    if (bal[n] > 10000)
	    {
		    cout<<"Invalid Balance, please reenter: "<<endl;
	    }
	    cout<<"ID Number"<<setw(16)<<"Balance"<<setw(20)<<"Difference from Average"<<endl;
		for ( ID[j] = 0; ID[j] < n; ID[j] = ID[j] + 1)
		{
			cout<<setw(4)<<ID [j]<<setprecision(2)
				<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint)
				<<setw(16)<<bal<<setw(20)<<setprecision(2)
				<<setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint)
				<<find_ave_bal (ID [j], num_bal)<<endl;
		}
		
	return 0;
}

double find_ave_bal(int ID [], int num_bal)
{	
		double subtotal = 0;
		double total;

		for (int j = 0; j < num_bal; j++)
			subtotal += ID [j];
		total = subtotal / num_bal;
		return total;

}
