Help please with compilation error

Hello everyone,

I would like your assistance with a compilation error I am getting that I haven't been able to resolve.

When I compile the code below, I am getting a "More than 1 symbol" error on the case expression of the switch statement. I've tried using an integer-type variable in the switch statement and replacing "case 'ATR'" for "case 1", for example, and my problem continues. What am I doing wrong?

Your assitance with this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Here is my code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double fnCalculateStop(int myOrderType, double EntryPrice, double Lots, string StopType, int iParam1)
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
{
double InitialStop=0.0;

switch (StopType)
{
case 'ATR':
InitialStop=fnStop_ATR(myOrderType, EntryPrice, Lots, iParam1);
break;
default:
break;
}

return(NormalizeDouble(InitialStop,Digits));
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Your stop type has to be an integer to be used in the switch statement, so you need to replace:

double fnCalculateStop(int myOrderType, double EntryPrice, double Lots, string StopType, int iParam1)

with:

double fnCalculateStop(int myOrderType, double EntryPrice, double Lots, int StopType, int iParam1)

Most likely you will have to add more code to convert your StopType to an integer, the reason you get this weird error message is because you type 'ATR' which is a char set instead of "ATR" which is a string.

Hope this helps.
