Thread: Urgent Help Needed Please!

I have confused myself added code that is not necessary and left out code. I know what it is I want to do but am lost on how to get there need. Been working on this for a few days and have little time left.

Code:

/*Program will read EmployeeDataFile and create a payroll register containing
 the following information: 
		a. Employee number (left-justifed)
		b. Department
		c. Pay rate
		d. Exempt
		e. Hours worked
		f. Base pay (pay rate * hours worked)

Please help Urgently needed.

thank you.

First, please take note of the Forum Guidelines post towards the top of the page, in particular this bit:

3. Do not put URGENT!, or NEED HELP NOW, etc. in your title; it will not make people look at it any faster. Doing this makes many old time helpers on this board not look at the post at all.

Second, your code is more C than C++ (more appropriate to the other forum).

Third, you haven't told us what is wrong with your code, just dumped it on the board for others to fix.

Other than a quick compile, which found this syntax error:

Code:

int getEmployData(FILE* spEmployeeData, int*employNum, int*depart, int*payRate,
                  char*exempt, int*hourWork)
{
    //Local Declarations
    int ioResult;
    *int count;

...I'm not going to spend time trying to figure out what it is the code is supposed to be doing versus what it is actually doing.
