In reply to "Tim Astle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The return type of your GetDecFromString is decNum *. Although you
don't show us the source to GetDecFromString, I'll bet it has an
automatic (stack) variable of type decNum, and returns the address of
it. This is, in general, a Bad Thing (tm).
Again, you didn't show us, so I'm just speculating. If, however, this
is the case, here is how you fix it:
Change GetDecFromString to this:
void GetDecFromString(CharPtr string, decNumPtr result);
Make other changes as shown below:
> // This is my decimal structure
> typedef struct
> {
> UInt num;
> UInt dec;
> } decNum, *decNumPtr;

this should be:
decNum dec1, dec2;
> UInt d, result, length;
> int x = 0, i = 0, j = 0;
> CharPtr lstr, strResult;
>
> // Get Decimal structure from Strings
> dec1 = GetDecFromString(str1);
> dec2 = GetDecFromString(str2);
these two change to:
GetDecFromString(str1, &dec1);
GetDecFromString(str2, &dec2);
// from here on out, dec-> becomes dec. (you get the idea)
>
> // Find difference of decimals
> d = dec1->dec - dec2->dec;
d = dec1.dec - dec2.dec;
