Variable Or Field Declared Void" And Other Errors

Question

I'm creating a payroll program and here is my code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>  

    #define REPORTHEADING1 "     Employee              Pay      Hours     Gross     Tax            Net\n"
    #define REPORTHEADING2 "     Name                  Rate     Worked    Pay       Due       Pay\n"
    #define REPORTHEADING3 "     ===============       ====     ======    =====     ====      ====\n"
    #define REPORTHEADING4 "                           ====     ======    =====     ====      ====\n"
    #define REPORTLINEFORMAT1 "     %-20s%6.2f%11.2f%9.2f%9.2f%10.2f\n"
    #define REPORTLINEFORMAT2 "     Totals              %6.2f%11.2f%9.2f%9.2f%10.2f\n"
    #define REPORTLINEFORMAT3 "     Averages            %6.2f%11.2f%9.2f%9.2f%10.2f\n"

    #define COUNTLINEFORMAT "     Number of employees: %-10i\n\n"

    #define MAXREGHOURS 40
    #define OVERTIMERATE 1.5

        ssitax,netpay);
    printf(reportFile,REPORTLINEFORMAT2,ovtHours,statetax,deferred);
}

The errors I get are: variable or field PrintSummaryReport declared void

And then I also get: in function voidPrintSummaryReport... cannot convert FILE to const car for argument to int printf(const char*...) which is for the following lines

printf(reportFile,REPORTLINEFORMAT1,fullName,payrate,regHours,gross,fedtax,
        ssitax,netpay);
    printf(reportFile,REPORTLINEFORMAT2,ovtHours,statetax,deferred);

In the do block, you have this statement:

void PrintSummaryReport(reportFile,fullName,regHours,ovtHours,payrate,gross,deferred,
        ft,st,ssit,netpay)

Remove the void keyword since you are calling the function there.

Then, regarding the error in printf, I do not think you can use printf with a FILE*, as the error says. fprintf should be fine though. You can check the details of printf etc. here. Note that this is for Linux, but it should apply to using C on Windows as well.
