data entry into a binary file

[abledpilot]

Hello, I'm writing a program where I take a prewritten text file and a. convert it into binary, b. write text to that binary file, c. display an output report and d. sort by employee name. I can do a,c and d, but I am having a hard time with b. If some one could just steer me in the right direction on where I'm going wrong in the dataEntryToBinary class I would really appreciate it. Also I am posting the text file that accompanies the program.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "conio.h"
#include "string.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
//#include <cctype> // for toupper
//#include <ctype.h>

using namespace std;

struct production_report
{
    char sEname[16];
    char sProduct[6];
    int iUnits;
    float fCost;
};

class convertToBinary
{
public:
    void convertToBinary_Start(void);

private:
    production_report data;
    fstream myFile_01;
    fstream myFile_02;

    void mainLine(void);
    void initialization(void);
    void process(void);
    void eoj(void);

};

class dataEntryToBinary
{
public:
    // Member Functions
    void dataEntryToBinary_Start(void);

private:
    // Member Data
    char *myReturn;
    production_report data;
    char ans[10];
    fstream myFile;

    // Member Functions
    void mainLine(void);
    void initialization(void);
    void process(void);

myFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&data), sizeof(data));

I doubt if the above line will work.

Edit: what is the exact problem you are having ?
