Access Struct variable from

Machiel J.

Hello,

My project contains several files:

main.c
routines.c
config.h
etc.

In the main.c I make a structure like:

xdata struct StructUserRec{
		BYTE	XPIDNr[9];
		char	UserName[15];
		BYTE	ContrHour;
		BYTE	ContrMin;
		BYTE	WorkedHour;
		BYTE	WorkedMin;
		};

xdata struct StructUserRec UserRec[10];

In Config.H is the declaration:
extern struct StructUserRec UserRec[10];

How can I access this structure from Routines.C? I know how to do this with other variables. But it doesn't work.

My compiler gives an error like:
ROUTINES.C(75): error C230: 'StructUserRec': unknown struct/union/enum tag

How can you make structures accessible from different .C files?

Thanks in advance,

M. Joosse

    "But what about data hiding?. Putting the definition into the header file uncovers the real implementation..."

    No, it doesn't.

    IF you've put something in a header file, then you're not hiding it, are you?
    You put stuff into a header file because you want to share it - not hide it!

    If you're going to share something, you obviously need to share both its name and its type - otherwise the "sharees" won't know what to do with it, will they?!
