Guyz and galz

I've this wierd problem whenever i compile ma .c file using devcpp , it gives me the following error at the lines I've marked above:

"D:\Compilers\Untitled10.cpp expected `;' before ':' token"

Plz. help. I cannot understand what's wrong with this code. Tried in visual c++, same error there too!!

You forgot to put a 'case' keyword in the inner switch. Your code shd be like :

switch(chii)
                            {
                                   case  'A' : strcpy(second1,"8F   ");      // Gives error here 
                                                strcpy(second2,"     ");
                                                break; 
                                                
                                      case 'B' : strcpy(second1,"88   ");    // Gives error here too!!
                                                strcpy(second2,"     ");
                                                break; 
                                                
                                         case 'C' : strcpy(second1,"89   "); // Gives error here too!!
                                                strcpy(second2,"     ");
                                                break; 

                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
                                                .
