my switch statement is not working properly. it works fine till case 'C', after that nothing is happening.
Any ideas?

void processData(List<Movies>& myList, Stack<Movies>& myStack, Queue<Movies>& myQ){
	Movies movieObj;
	int numInStack = 0,
		numInQ = 0,
		num2process = 0;

	fstream inFile("newReturns.txt");
	if(!inFile){
		cout << "Unable to open Returns.txt." << endl;
		exit(99);
	}
	fstream outFile("MovieReport.txt", ios::app|ios::in);
	if(!outFile){
		cout << "Unable to open MovieReport.txt." << endl;
		exit(99);
	}
	outFile << endl;
	cout << "---TEST--- before reading the newReturns.txt" << endl;
	cout << numInStack << " --- " << numInQ << " --- " << num2process << endl;
	cout << "---TEST--- before reading the newReturns.txt\n" << endl;
	
	inFile >> movieObj.x;
	inFile >> movieObj.MPAC;
	while(!inFile.eof()){
		switch(movieObj.x){

You've given a pretty vague description of your problem and I'm having trouble seeing your statement blocks, your indentation is inconsistent and there are no comments.

I think the solution will involve changes to your "Movies" class/struct. Specifically, I think the type of Movies::x is not the correct type for the comparison(s) you are trying to make.

I also think you should add a default case to your switch.
