Re: [suse-programming-e] C++ compile problem. error in function

Structures are global and are as follows: <snip> struct BillLine { StockItem stock; float weight; float cost; }bill_line[50]; <snip> My full program code is as follows <snip> struct BillLine { StockItem stock[NUM_OF_ITEMS]; float weight; float cost; }bill_line[50];

notice the difference between the two declarations of BillLine. the problem you're having is becuase in the full code, you're trying to assign a single StockItem to an array of them without referencing a single array location. the second error has the same cause. you're trying to access the desc value but treating it as a single StockItem, not an array. -- trey
