I am trying to append 2 files. I have made a menu with an option to do this. My menu allows me to pick my option to add, and allows me to give the required information. The problem is when I look at these 2 files nothing has been appended to them.Here is my code.

#include "program6.h"

int menu()
{
	int imenuOption;

	cout << "\t\t Bob's Sporting Goods \n\n"
		    "\t\t 1 - Stock Report \n\n"
			"\t\t 2 - Add Item \n\n"
			"\t\t 0 - Exit Program \n\n"
	        "\t\t Choose Menu Option 1, 2 or 0:  ";

	cin >> imenuOption;
	cout << endl << endl;

		switch(imenuOption)
		{
		case 1:
			report();
			break;

		case 2:
			addItem();
			break;

		case 0:
			exit(0); 
			break;

		default:
			cout << "\n Please Choose A Valid Option! \n";
			cout << "Press <Enter> To Try Again!: \n";
		PAUSE;
		break;
		}
		return imenuOption;
}

void report(void)
{
	int iInStock, iInCode, iCode;
	string sName, sCat;
	double Price;

use ofstream file("file.txt", ios::out | ios::app)

While there is nothing wrong with that, mentioning ios::out explicitly while working with an ofstream is not necessary. ofstream already has this set as default.
