Global structure def's

[earth_angel]

For some reason C doesn't like a global structure definition. I have it set up like this:

struct EDFSection
{
	char Param[20];
	int Label, SFactor, SigBits;
	int Bit30, Bit31;
} ;

int 
main (void)
{
	
	EDFSection Sec;
........
Sec.Param = Temp[1];
		Sec.Label = atoi(Temp[2]);
		Sec.SFactor = atoi(Temp[3]);
		Sec.SigBits = atoi(Temp[4]);
		Sec.Bit31 = atoi(Temp[5]);
		Sec.Bit30 = atoi(Temp[6]);

The array Temp contains strings of a fixed length. I tried writing a function to print the structure, as outlined in FAQ > Prelude's Corner > All about structures
But it won't cooperate.
Here's the function:

void print_Struct ( struct EDFSection sec )
{
  printf ( "%s\t", sec.Param);
  printf ( "%d\t", sec.Label );
  printf ( "%d\t", sec.SFactor );
  printf ( "%d\t", sec.SigBits );
  printf ( "%d\t", sec.Bit31);
  printf ( "%d\t", sec.Bit30 );
}

Even declaring the structure inside the main function didn't work. What's missing?

Sorry forgot. Here's the error message that I get;

: error C2065: 'EDFSection' : undeclared identifier
H:\Code\Parse EDF\main FN.c(17) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Sec'
H:\Code\Parse EDF\main FN.c(17) : error C2065: 'Sec' : undeclared identifier
H:\Code\Parse EDF\main FN.c(56) : error C2224: left of '.Param' must have struct/union type

H:\Code\Parse EDF\main FN.c(58) : error C2224: left of '.SFactor' must have struct/union type

and the same for each time I use Sec. ...

In C, use the struct keyword.

	struct EDFSection Sec;

[edit]If this is related to your previous thread, you can use %d with sscanf and avoid the atoi.

Thanks, that works. Obviously; why would you tell me something that won't work .
