    I have the following (rather simple, I think) code which compiles but

    Here's the code and the call to it I use:

string spellNumber(double value)
{
    bool showThousands = false;
    bool allZeros = true;
    int ii, dPos, nn;
    char wc;
    string digits, temp;
    ostringstream ossw;
    static string builder;
    ossw.str("");
    ossw << value;
    digits = ossw.str();
    dPos = digits.find('.');
    if(dPos != string::npos) digits.erase(dPos);
    nn = digits.length();
    wc = digits.back();
    for(ii = digits.length()-1; ii >= 0; ii--)
    {
       int ndigit = (int)(digits[ii]-'0');
       int column = (digits.length()-(ii+1));
    } // for
// more code to be added here
    return builder;
}
...
    spellNumber(123.45); // call the function

    I have, of course the normal stdafx.h header and "use namespace
std;", and this is code from a small test program I use to debug new
functions and such. Many other programs and many thousands of lines of
code work fine, but this code is weird...and I can't see what's wrong
with it!
    Please advise... TIA

The logic error is on the line 42 of your original program, at least
according to my crystal ball, which is the best source of information I
have at this point, since you've chosen not to post the entire program.
