initialization of 'fin' is skipped by 'case' label

[nunii07]

Please! Help! This program was running at first but when I started to change the couts and cins to fouts and fins (in order for them to be save in a file directory), it shows a lot of errors such as:

initialization of 'fin' is skipped by 'case' label
'std::ifstream fin': redefinition

Here is the code of the program:

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

struct file{
	int fnum;
	char fname[50], lname[50];
	char cnum[50];
	int balance, total;
};

file f;
//int i, list,ans, searchnum, delnum, x, y;
int ans, list, i, searchnum, delnum, y;
int cons, es, minsur, majsur;
char others[50], name[50], yon, noy;
int pay, oprice, balpaid;

void newLine();
void line(char, int);
void filedirectory();
void deletefile();
void procedure();
void addfile();

It'll be a lot of help. thank you so muchhhhh!!! ^_^

The variable fin is defined in case 2 but you use it in case 1.

You will need to move the definition of fin so it is visible to all the cases.
