flow control algo

hello,
i do need to implement a counter to control the financial flow of funds.
i need some help to find a good algo.i have double code in my algo which i want to get rid of.

this is my algo

if(! errorflag && messagetype != void)
update the counter
switch(messagetype)
case void:
storno.
if(counter == counter)
update the counter, set errorflag
case transaction:
transaction
if(counter == counter)
update the counter, set errorflag

Erm what is this meant to do:

Code:

---

if(counter == counter)

---

?

this is the cross checking method. i need to compare the value of a terminal counter with an operator counter(my application).

then you should name them differently. From that pseudo code it looks like you're comparing the same variable with itself...
