I can't figure out how to "type" some of the procedures within my class.
This one works:

long int Data::validate_nodes(const DATA *llist)
{
    DATA    *tlist  = llist;
    long int        cnt     = 0L;
    long int        errCnt  = 0L;
...
}

This one gets an error:

DATA * Data::append_list(const DATA *llist, char *newdata)
{
    DATA    *temp;
    DATA    *tlist;
...
}

I also tried:

Data::DATA * append_list(const DATA *llist, char *newdata)
{
    DATA    *temp;
    DATA    *tlist;
...
}

Can someone set me straight on these?

Thanks,
