hi everyone im new to c++ (im in my second semester) and i have a question about some errors im getting. I am using the vi editor and i am getting the following two errors:

assign2.cpp:39: error: âDATAFILEâ was not declared in this scope
assign2.cpp:40: error: âOUTFILEâ was not declared in this scope
here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

const int NAMESIZE=11;
const int FILENAMESIZE=51;
typedef char NAME_t[NAMESIZE];
typedef int GRADE_t;
typedef char FILENAME_t[FILENAMESIZE];
typedef fstream DATAFILE_t;
typedef fstream OUTFILE_t;

class cStudent
{
        private:
                NAME_t fname;
                NAME_t lname;
                GRADE_t t1;
                GRADE_t t2;
                GRADE_t t3;
                GRADE_t t4;
                GRADE_t assigngrade;
                GRADE_t examgrade;
        public:
                cStudent();

};//end class

void READ(DATAFILE_t &DATAFILE);
void PRINT(OUTFILE_t &OUTFILE);
void Finalize(DATAFILE_t &DATAFILE, OUTFILE_t &OUTFILE);
main()
{


        cStudent tempstudent;
        cStudent::cStudent();
        READ(DATAFILE);
        PRINT(OUTFILE);
        Finalize(DATAFILE,OUTFILE);

}//end main

void READ(DATAFILE_t &DATAFILE)
{
        FILENAME_t inputfile;
        cout<<"Enter the name of the data file:"<<endl;
        cin>>inputfile;
        DATAFILE.open(inputfile,ios::in);

};

void PRINT(OUTFILE_t &OUTFILE)
{
        FILENAME_t outputfile;
        cout<<"Enter the name of the output file to be created:"<<endl;
        cin>>outputfile;
        OUTFILE.open(outputfile,ios::out);

};

void Finalize(DATAFILE_t &DATAFILE, OUTFILE_t &OUTFILE)
{
        cout<<"Now closing input and output files...."<<endl;
        DATAFILE.close();
        OUTFILE.close();
        cout<<"Terminating program.....GOODBYE..."<<endl;
};

can anyone help me because I am very much stuck

thanks!!!
