here is the printMovieInfo() from the class
 
void movieType::printMovieInfo(char* outFileName)
{
	std::ofstream outFile;
	if(!outFile.is_open()) 
		outFile.open(outFileName, std::ios::app);
	outFile<<name<<" "<<year<<" "<<genre<<" "<<length<<" "<<rank;
	outFile<<" "<<weight<<" "<<year<<" "<<votes<<std::endl;
	
}

and here is the main code:

#include "movieType.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include "PQType.h"
//typedef movieType ItemType;
#include "QueType.h"//FIFO queue 

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	movieType movie[9];
	ifstream inFile("movie1.txt");
	ofstream outFile("printList.txt");

	int i =0;
	bool notDone=true;
	while (notDone) 
	{ 
		if (movie[i++].readMovieInfo(inFile)== false)
			notDone=false;	  
	}

	PQType<movieType> PQqueue(8);

	int j=0;
	while(!PQqueue.IsFull())
	{
		PQqueue.Enqueue(movie[j++]);
	}

	QueType<movieType> fifoQueue[8];
	
	string Genre[8]={"Action", "Comedy", "Drama", "Horror", "Mystery", "Romantic", "Adventure","Western"};
	
	movieType it;

			fifoQueue[6].Enqueue(it);

//THE PROBLEM IS GENERATE HERE

	movieType ij;

		outFile<<endl;
