error 88:'(' expected when trying to display an array any help
 

i have designed a database an one of my feilds is set up as an array. i had no problems reading my data into the array but i am having trouble trying to display the feild. when compiling the following error occurs.

error 88 expected (.
the error occurs in the section where the text color has been changed

below are the sections that i think are relevant to the problem:

program ordering;
uses crt;
type ordertype = array[1..8] of string[25];

order = record
memberid:string[10];
orderref:string[10];
address1:string[20];
noveg:integer;
nononveg:integer;
orderdate:string[10];
orderdetail : ordertype ;
pricepp:real;
totalprice:real;
discount:string[3];
finalprice:real;
end;
intfiletype1 = file of order;
extfilenametype1 = string [25];


procedure enterrecdata1 (var memrecord : order);
var i:integer;
hold: ordertype;
begin
writeln;
with memrecord do
begin
writeln ('Enter Member ID: ');
write ('Press the enter key to end input:');
readln (memberid);
if memberid <> ''
then
begin
write ('Enter Order Ref: ');
readln (orderref);
write ('Enter number of veggie people: ');
readln (noveg);
write ('Enter number of non veg: ');
readln (nononveg);
write ('Enter date of order: ');
readln (orderdate);
write ('Enter order: ');
for i:= 1 to 8 do
readln (orderdetail[I]);
write ('Enter price per person: ');
readln (pricepp);
totalprice:=((nononveg) + (noveg)) * (pricepp) ;
writeln ('Discount?: ');
write ('*If yes type Y If no type N*');
readln (discount);
if discount = 'n' then (finalprice) := (totalprice)
else finalprice := totalprice * 0.90
end
end
end;

procedure display1;

var memrecord : order;
intfile : intfiletype1;
masterfile : extfilenametype1;
x:integer;
begin
clrscr;
gotoXY (15,1);
writeln ('-----MEMBERS FILE-----');
gotoXY (10,3);
getmasterfilename1 (masterfile);
gotoXY (1,5);
assign (intfile, masterfile);
reset (intfile);
while not eof (intfile) do
begin
read (intfile, memrecord);
with memrecord do
begin
x:=0;
repeat
clrscr;
writeln ('Member ID: ',memberid);
writeln ('Order REF: ',orderref);
writeln('Number of veg People: ' ,noveg);
writeln('Number of Non veg people: ' ,nononveg);
writeln ('Date of order: ',orderdate);
writeln ('Order: ',ordertype[i]);
writeln('Price per Person:œ',pricepp:8:2);
writeln('Total Price:œ',totalprice:8:2);
writeln('Discount?: ',discount);
writeln('Final Price: œ',finalprice:8:2);
x:=x+1
until (x=8) or (eof(intfile));
readln;
end
end;

please help!! thank you

Re: error 88:'(' expected when trying to display an array any help
 

what is 'i' in that procedure? It's undefined...

Re: error 88:'(' expected when trying to display an array any help

i have solved the problem the following code is correct. the highlighted section is the changed part.

procedure display1;

var memrecord : order;
intfile : intfiletype1;
masterfile : extfilenametype1;
x:integer;
begin
clrscr;
gotoXY (15,1);
writeln ('-----MEMBERS FILE-----');
gotoXY (10,3);
getmasterfilename1 (masterfile);
gotoXY (1,5);
assign (intfile, masterfile);
reset (intfile);
while not eof (intfile) do
begin
read (intfile, memrecord);
with memrecord do
begin
x:=0;
repeat
clrscr;
writeln ('Member ID: ',memberid);
writeln ('Order REF: ',orderref);
writeln('Number of veg People: ' ,noveg);
writeln('Number of Non veg people: ' ,nononveg);
writeln ('Date of order: ',orderdate);
for i := 1 to 8 do
writeln ('Order: ',orderdetail[i]);writeln('Price per Person:œ',pricepp:8:2);
writeln('Total Price:œ',totalprice:8:2);
writeln('Discount?: ',discount);
writeln('Final Price: œ',finalprice:8:2);
x:=x+1
until (x=8) or (eof(intfile));
readln;
end
end;
