Thread: having runtime problems with program

when I run this problem it is supposed to loop so that each time it finished each case, it re--states the switch. When I do switch two however, when it is done it doesn't re-state the case output. I think it is something with the ReportOutput() function. Also, I ma trying to get it to sort the output by reference number, but it doesn't seem to output like I expected. I have no Idea how to do it, can you please help.

Code:

This program will first ask the user for the term, then it will present 3 choices
to pick from.  Either imput the information to a file, output the information
from the first file to a report, or quit.  This all is looped so that when the user is
finished with one choice, they will be able to re-chose again.

sry for asking I am jsut going crazy.

a friend pointed out the problem
I had

Code:

for(n = 0; n!=40; n--)

like an idiot lol

I can't keep making mistakes like this.
