Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<iomanip>
#include<string>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

    do
    {
        submit>>input[arraycounter].item_number>>input[arraycounter].item_code>>input[arraycounter].price;
        arraycounter++;
    }
    
    while(submit.good());
    submit.close();
    arraycounter--;
    {

                cin>>menuEnter;

                if(menuEnter==1)

        arraycounter++;
       }
    
    void printRecord(RECORD input[]);
    {
        char item_code, item_number;
        char explanation;
        float price, total_sales;

switch(item_code)
{

    }
    break;

    }
    if(item_number==105)
    {
        price=20.00;
    }
    break;
    
    case'C':
    if(item_number==103)
    {
        price=12.00;
    }
    break;
    
    case'D':
    if(item_number==101)
    {
        price=12.00;
    }
    break;
}
    }
    
    void printAllRecord(RECORD input[]);
    {
        cout<<"SALES REPORT FOR ALL CATEGORIES"<<endl;
        cout<<"\nCategory\t\tSales" << endl;
        cout<<"------------------------------"<<endl;
        cout<<explanation<<"\t\t"<<price<<endl;
        cout<<"------------------------------"<<endl;
        cout<<"Total Sales\t\t"<<totalSales<<endl;
        cout<<endl;
}

this is the question. no.1, no problem, but no 2, and 3, but also 4. how to exit? but no1, does can repeat or back to menu? bcoz to add many record?

 

Code:

std::string explanation; // this upper coding
        char explanation; //after entering void to display

You need to decide if explanation should be defined as std::string or char. char only stores one character (you need char explanation[20] or some other int if you want to use an array of char), so given that you want to use the

Code:

    explanation='BABY WEAR';

syntax I suspect it should be defined as the first. Your error is probably something along the lines of "explanation: already defined", which you get because you've defined it twice.

In future, if you get errors, tell us what they are. It's not always this easy to guess what those errors might be.
