Problem with strcpy function

bmxtrev (14)
I'm having a problem using the strcpy function. It works up to a certain point, and then I get this error message

"The variable src[i] has not yet been assigned a value.
It cannot be used until it has been initialized to something.

The error occurred while executing line 150:
strcpy(ucity, city);"


The reason for the strcpy is to set a lowercase string to uppercase, without permanently changing it.

Any idea's how to solve this?

void PrintCityName( bool rightjustify ) const
{
   CityNameType ucity;
   strcpy(ucity, city);
   ToUpper(ucity);
   if(rightjustify == true)
      {
        
        cout << setw(19) << ucity;
      }   
   else
      {
         cout << city;
      }
} 
void PrintDest( ) const 
{
   PrintCityName (true);
   cout << setw(4) << package_count << " packages weighing";
   cout << setw(11) << fixed << setprecision(2) 
        << total_weight << " pounds" << endl;
}

Whatabout the toupper() function?

"The variable src[i] has not yet been assigned a value.

The message is clear. Initialize the source string.ie: give it a value beforr trying to copy from it.

CityNameType If it is typedef for char*, you need to allocate memory for it first.
