Problems in creating a Battleships board

[TheYeIIowDucK]

Hey there, i'm new to C++ programming (as you can probably can tell). After learning the basics from the Cprogramming.com site, i decided to create my own little game (Battleships).
I just started working and i already got a problem. For some reason, my board() function doesn't work and it doesn't display the player's board when i call it.
I don't know what could be the problem. I checked it several times and i can't see anything wrong with it.
Here's my entire code, i case my problem lays somewhere else:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

short plyrBoard[9][9];//The player's board status, his ships' locations and stuff like that.
short plyrView[9][9];//The PC's status as the player sees it (hits/misses).
short aiBoard[9][9];//The PC's full board status
short aiView[9][9];//The player's status as the PC sees it
short brd[9][9];//The basic board
/* Key:
0 = Empty
1 = Boat
2 = Ship
3 = Submarine
4 = Aircarrier
5 = Damaged or destroyed */

void board(); //Displaying the player's board
void boardCreate(); //Creating the diffrent boards (should only used once)

int main()
{
    cout<<"Welcome to BattleshipsAI by TheYeIIowDucK!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"<<endl;
    cout<<"Start by choosing your ships' positions."<<endl;
    void boardCreate();
    void board();
    short rdy;
    do
    {
          //This part is under construction...
    } while (rdy == 0);
}


void boardCreate()
{
    short i;
    short l;
    short k = 8;
    for (i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++)
    {
        k = k + 2;
        for (l = 0 ; l < 9 ; l++)
        {
            k++;
            brd[i][l] = k;
            plyrBoard[i][l] = 0;
            plyrView[i][l] = 0;
            aiBoard[i][l] = 0;
            aiView[i][l] = 0;
        }
    }
}

void board()
{
    short i;
    short l;
    for (i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++)
    {
        for (l = 0 ; l < 9 ;l++)
        {
            switch (plyrBoard[i][l])
            {
                case 0:
                    cout<<brd[i][l]<<" ";
                    break;
                case 1:
                    cout<<"BO ";
                    break;
                case 2:
                    cout<<"SH ";
                    break;
                case 3:
                    cout<<"SU ";
                    break;
                case 4:
                    cout<<"AI ";
                    break;
                case 5:
                    cout<<"XX ";
                    break;
                default:
                    cout<<"ERROR";
                    break;
            }
        }
        cout<<"\n"<<flush;
    }
}

That's what i get:

Any help on this one?

    void boardCreate();
    void board();
    short rdy;
    do
    {
          //This part is under construction...
    } while (rdy == 0);
}

There is your problem. You're not actually calling these functions here.

    boardCreate();
    board();
    short rdy;
    do
    {
          //This part is under construction...
    } while (rdy == 0);
}
