Question

I am very beginner in C. I have the following structure

typedef struct
{
    zuint8                      u8ZCLVersion;

 #ifdef CLD_BAS_ATTR_LOCATION_DESCRIPTION
    tsZCL_CharacterString       sLocationDescription;
    uint8                       au8LocationDescription[16];
 #endif

 #ifdef CLD_BAS_ATTR_PHYSICAL_ENVIRONMENT
    zenum8                      u8PhysicalEnvironment;
 #endif

 #ifdef CLD_BAS_ATTR_DEVICE_ENABLED
    zbool                       bDeviceEnabled;
 #endif
} tsCLD_Basic;

now i want to set au8LocationDescription[16] field. And I am using this piece of code.

tsCLD_Basic sCombined;
sCombined.au8LocationDescription[16] = {0x42,0x65,0x64,0x20,0x52,0x6f,0x6f,0x6d};

but its shows error
error: expected expression before ‘{‘ token

how could I write the values..???

As the comment of Als says, what you are trying to do is not possible. You will need to assign each array element separately like this

    sCombined.au8LocationDescription[0] = 0x42;
    sCombined.au8LocationDescription[1] = 0x65;
    ...

and so on until each element is has the value you want.
