Problems with input/output file program.

Code:

---

cisDegree >> student_Identifier >> last_Name >> first_Name >> middle_Initial >> grade_Point_Average >> major_Char;
        while (!cisDegree.eof())
        {

//Nested decision structure to write the information to the appropriate file according to their major.
                if (major_Char == 'A')
                        appMajors << student_Identifier << " " << last_Name << " " << first_Name << " " << middle_Initial << " " << grade_Point_Average << " ";
                else if (major_Char == 'N')
                        netMajors << student_Identifier << " " << last_Name << " " << first_Name << " " << middle_Initial << " " << grade_Point_Average << " ";
                else if (major_Char == 'P')
                        progMajors << student_Identifier << " " << last_Name << " " << first_Name << " " << middle_Initial << " " << grade_Point_Average << " ";
                else if (major_Char == 'W')
                        webMajors << student_Identifier << " " << last_Name << " " << first_Name << " " << middle_Initial << " " << grade_Point_Average << " ";
               
                cisDegree >> student_Identifier >> last_Name >> first_Name >> middle_Initial >> grade_Point_Average >> major_Char;
        }

---

I have all the variables declared, and all the files open, but for everywhere there is a >>, << before last_Name it says error 2679. im supposed to read the 6 variables from the input file and send them based on char to separate output files. Any idea on how to fix this error?

Error c2679 means "no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'type' (or there is no acceptable conversion)".

Of what type is last_Name? You haven't provided the definitions. It would be better if you showed the whole program so that we can better advise.

Nothing to do with your question, but those aren't nested if statements.
