Thread: Illigeal digits 08 & 09...why?

I am in the process of self-teaching C++ using a complex Lotto Program for exercise work. I keep getting an error in one section stating that I've used an illegal digit "08" & "09" and I do not know why. My program is:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <ios>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
 

 
/* =========================================================================================================================== */ 

Start:

 char z;
 
 cout << "For Florida MegaMillion press #1" << endl << endl;
 cout << "For Florida Lotto press #2" << endl << endl;
 cout << "For National Power-Ball press #3"  << endl << endl;
 cout << "To start over press #4" << endl << endl;
 cin >> z;
 
 if (z == 1)
     {
       cout << "You have chosen to play Florida's MegaMillion Lotto," << endl << endl;
        goto MegaMillion;
    }

 else

 if (z == 2)
     {
       cout << "You have chosen to play the Florida Lotto." << endl << endl;
        goto FloridaLotto;
    }

 else

 if (z == 3)
    {
       cout << "You have chosen to play the National Power-Ball Lotto," << endl << endl;
        goto PowerBall;
    }

 else

 if (z == 4) goto Start;

 else

 if (z != 1 && z != 2 && z != 3 && z != 4)
    {
        cout << "You have chosen to end the program." << endl << endl;
       return 0;
    }

MegaMillion:

char x;
char str [6];

#define Anydate();    // Declare / define the variable Anydate.
#define date
#define number


/*
   {
    Anydate();
    Anydate(string,[6]);
    ~Anydate();
    string date;
    int number[6];
   };

    
    Anydate=Anydate(string thatdate, int thatnumber[6]);

  
   {
    date=thatdate;
    for(int i=0;i!=6;i++);
    number[i]=thatnumber[i];
   }


    Anydate=Anydate();
    


    Anydate=~Anydate();
