I am trying to read data in to a struct from a prototype

My Code is:

Code:

void init(student_record db[],int *count)
{
	FILE *input;
	char temp_str[30];
	input = fopen("mydata.txt","r");
	
	while(!feof(input) && count<SIZE)
	{
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].firstname,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].lastname,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].ssno,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].city,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].state,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].year,temp_str);
		fscanf_s(input,"%s",temp_str);
		strcpy_s(db[*count].sex,temp_str);
		fclose(input);
	}
}

My complier is saying this:
error C2198: 'strcpy_s' : too few arguments for call
warning C4047: 'function' : 'rsize_t' differs in levels of indirection from 'char [30]'
warning C4024: 'strcpy_s' : different types for formal and actual parameter 2

Anyone have any ideas????

"strcpy" (string copy) thorws error on integer and float variables... ! check on it may be!
