i dont see what isnt complete about it. perhaps your compiler is old or too new or something. like i said, it is compiling fine for me. i dont know what the problem is for you.

how do i declare...

1st: the code compiles just fine for me. i am using telnet with a compiler on the other end. no problems happen for me. it may be the line that goes off the screen. it is shown in the code box...

Here it is:



#include <stdio.h>

So should i just remove all the ampersands? why does it work with the other records? did you try compiling it yourself as well?


EDIT: and why is it not reading only the FIRST record book name?...
