program not reading in records from file

Please help, I working on a program that is suppose to read data from a file. For some reason the program isn't working. When I run it, I don't receive an error message, nor do I see the information that its suppose to read in. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

Here is a copy of my program:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//function prototype

void convert_type(char);
float calc_cost_hour(float, float);

void main()

{
char item_code[10]="";
char item_name[20]="";
char item_type=' ';
float hours=(float)0.0;
float charge=(float)0.0;
int days=0;
float total_chrg=(float)0.0;
float total_hours=(float)0.0;
int counter=0;
char type_charge[7]="";
float cost_hour=(float)0.0;
float labor=(float)0.0;
float materials=(float)0.0;
float highest_charge=(float)0.0;
char itemCode[11]="";
int number_day=0;


//open input file

ifstream inFile;
inFile.open ("c:program7.dat", ios::in);


//verify that open was successful

if (!inFile.fail()) //if open did not fail
{
//read data from prg7.dat file

cout<<"#"<<setw(6)<<"Type"<<setw(15)<<"Contr.Code" <<setw(13)<<"Item Name"<<setw(14)<<"Cost/Hour"<<setw(12)<<"Item Cost"<<endl;
cout<<endl;

cout<<setiosflags(ios::fixed);
cout<<setiosflags(ios::showpoint);
cout<<setprecision(2);


inFile >>item_code
>>item_name
>>item_type
>>hours
>>charge
>>days;

//test for the end of the file

while (!inFile.eof())
{


//function call

convert_type (item_type);
cost_hour=calc_cost_hour (charge, hours);


//update counter and accumulator

counter = counter + 1;
total_chrg = total_chrg + charge;
total_hours = total_hours + hours;

if (item_type=='L')
labor=labor+charge;

if (item_type=='M')
materials=materials+charge;


cout<< counter
<<setw(5) <<item_code
<<setw(4) <<item_name
<<setw(5) <<cost_hour
<<setw(9) <<charge<<endl;

if (charge > highest_charge)
{
strcpy(itemCode, item_code);
number_day = days;
highest_charge = charge;;
}







}//end while loop

//close file
inFile.close();

system("pause");
system("cls");

//Output items

cout<<"-----------------------------------------------------------------"<<endl;
cout<<"The number of records in the database is: "<<counter<<endl;
cout<<"Cost of all materials: "<<setw(15)<<materials<<endl;
cout<<"Total manhours charged: "<<setw(12)<<hours<<endl;
cout<<"Total labor cost: "<<setw(5)<<labor<<endl;
cout<<"The total cost of all charges: "<<setw(23)<<total_chrg<<endl;
cout<<endl;
cout<<"The contractor code that had the greatest expense was "<<itemCode<<" "<<endl;
cout<<"It was completed on day "<<number_day<<" of the job at a cost of $ "<<highest_charge<<" ";
cout<<endl;
cout<<endl;

}


}//end main

//function definition

void convert_type (char item_type)

{
if(item_type=='C')
cout<<"CONTR"<<setw(2);

else if (item_type=='E')
cout<<"ELECT";

else if (item_type=='I')
cout<<"INSPC";

else if (item_type=='L')
cout<<"LABOR";

else if (item_type=='M')
cout<<"MATLS";
}

float calc_cost_hour (float charge, float hours)

{
float cost_hour=(float)0.0;

if (hours!=(float)0.0)
cost_hour=charge/hours;

return 0;
}

I'm not going to lie and say i fixed this but I did smooth out some rough edges. You can do the rest:

One big one was void main. Don't do that anymore.
