file_op.getline(JOBID,1);
file_op.getline(NAME,30);

file_op.getline(PRIO,1);

int PRIO2=System::Convert::ToInt32(PRIO);

dq.insert(JOBID2,NAME,1,PRIO2,DATE);

}
file_op.close();

but the EOF function doesnt work..it become an infinite loop
PLEASE HELP!!!!

The eof() fuction will return true only if the rdstate AND the eofbit are both true.

You have four getline functions inside your loop and any one of them could have read the end of file causing the rdstate to be false. Hence your infinite loop.

You need to check every read operation for success befopre proceeding to the next read operation.
