Question

Here is my code:

- (BOOL) saveSiteData  {

    //  validate all fields
    if(txtSiteID.text.length == 0 || txtSiteDesc.text.length == 0)  {
        [self Alert:@"Missing Site ID and/or Description" andData:@"Reqired fields"];
        return NO;
    }

    if(txtSTA.text.length == 0 || txtElev.text.length == 0)  {
        [self Alert:@"Missing Initial STA and/or Elevation" andData:@"Reqired fields"];        
        return NO;
    }

//    txtSiteDesc.text = txtSiteDesc.text.re  <----------  remove single quotes  TODO

    NSString selectCmd = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@,%@,%@", @"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM SiteData WHERE SITE_ID = '",
                          txtSiteID.text, @"'"];
    return YES;
}

The error message I’m getting is: Interface type cannot be statically allocated.

Why? and how do I fix it?

NSString selectCmd = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@,%@,%@", @"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM SiteData WHERE SITE_ID = '", txtSiteID.text, @"'"];

This is wrong. Any Objective-C object is a pointer. So you need an asterisk:

NSString *selectCmd = etc...
