You mean?

Code:

FILE * ptdatabase;

Dunno about C99, but you have to specify the size (yes you still have to ask for space on the stack)

* A "few" more syntax errors (like Line 56-57), but I don't have the time to list them all.

Fix your indenting, and do a pastebin it's just too hard to read (If you don't know what pastebin is, Google it)

thanks. you r right about FILE *ptdatabase. Are there any major problem with my solution.?

Your logic in solving the problem is correct. There are a few syntax errors which i assume were mistakes in typing i.e forgetting to terminate a structure defination among others.

Code:

                                  case '3':
                                                printf("\nthnaks for using the program");
                                                return 0; <======[ could be avoided]

                                                break;
                                  
                                  default:

The logical error which i could point out is the CASE 3: which uses return to terminate the program. However there would be a better way to terminate the program since your do..while() loop has a condition just use it to get out of the program. The point is using all the code written if ur intent was to terminate the way you are terminating you might as use a do..while(1)
Hope it helps.
