c:\robotics\FrcCode\user_routines.c:325:Error: syntax error
(note: This is the methoud I have used to compile code, and it has worked before)
Here is the code that is causing the error:

void Drive_the_Arm(void){
 switch (light_status){
  case NONE_IN_RANGE: Search_for_Light(LARGE_MOVE);	       break;

light_status is an unsigned charicter that has been defined as 0, NONE_IN_RANGE has been defined as 0 and LARGE_MOVE has been defined as 240. Search_for_Light is a function that accepts unsigned chars.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this error?
Thanks!

First of all, no tabs and use the CODE tag.
Second, try:

void Drive_the_Arm(void)
{
 switch (light_status)
 {
  case NONE_IN_RANGE:
   Search_for_Light(LARGE_MOVE);
   break;
 }
}

I believe that the colon also denotes lablels, And I think that you can't have commands on the same line (I certainly wouldn't!). Try that.

Also, is Large move a const or alias?
