Nested if else statements giving error

I have the following nested if else statement and it keeps giving me the error that it has an illefal else without matching if . I've tried playing with the brackets and can't get it to work. Can someone point out where the problem is? Thanks in advance!

if (!bEndOfDay)
	{
		if (!MoveData(csTblName, csBlobTable, csBulkTable,pSqlDb))
		{
			update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
			uRetVal = FALSE;
		}
		else
		{
			if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
				update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
		}
	}
	else
	{
		if (!MoveBulkData(csBulkTable,pSqlDb))
		{
			update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
			uRetVal = FALSE;
		}
		else
		{
			if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
				update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
		}
	}
	else
	{
		if (!MoveAlertData(csAPAlertTable,pSqlDb))
		{
			update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
			uRetVal = FALSE;
		}
		else
		{
			if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
				update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
		}
	}
	return uRetVal;

Well, take a look at your code, there's indeed one 'else' that has no 'if':

if (!bEndOfDay)
        {
                if (!MoveData(csTblName, csBlobTable, csBulkTable,pSqlDb))
                {
                        update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
                        uRetVal = FALSE;
                }
                else
                {
                        if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
                                update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
                }
        }
        else
        {
                if (!MoveBulkData(csBulkTable,pSqlDb))
                {
                        update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
                        uRetVal = FALSE;
                }
                else
                {
                        if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
                                update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
                }
        } // <---------- if (!bEndOfDay) ends here
 
        else // <----------- there's no if for that one
        {
                if (!MoveAlertData(csAPAlertTable,pSqlDb))
                {
                        update_detail("Error in moving data from ....");
                        uRetVal = FALSE;
                }
                else
                {
                        if (g_SysCfg.IsVerbose())
                                update_detail("Data moved from to .....");
                }
        }
        return uRetVal;

Yeah, I see it and that's where the program is stopping when I try to build, but I'm new to programming and I can't figure out how to make the else that's causing the error part of the if (!bEndOfDay). can you help?

jkr

Well, that's pretty hard, since that's not a complete function and I have no idea what it is supposed to do ;o)

Well, is 'MoveAlertData()' supposed to execute when 'bEndOfDay' is 'true' or 'false' or under what other condition?

if bEndOfDay is false, then i need it to do the MoveDate then MoveBulkDate then MoveAlertData
