Thread: collecting stat info from a module

I have a pgm calling a function in a module.

The program is to pass a file name to the module function - and then the module function will collect the stat information and return the stat info to the calling program.

I have written the following in my calling pgm:

Code:

struct stat file_info;

&file_info = statfile(filename);

and then in my module function:

Code:

file_info statfile(name_type filename) {
      stat(filename, &file_info);
      return(file_info); }

I am getting a compile error saying:
incompatible types in return

Can anyone suggest a solution?
