Passing "string" in a function aparrently its a char now?

[EDN Admin]

Hi,

I think the problem here is the confusion over a string and a char, I defined everything so I dont understand what the problem is>
When I enter the code "Convert_FundValueBasis" the variable "xy" passed to "xx" is "Current" but it is not being recognized in the "if" statement in the code. So there appears to be some problem it should go into the first if statement.
The value of "xx" in the function is blank "". It should be "Current" because that is what "xy" was.
Does anyone know what the probelme is here?
code...
<pre class="prettyprint declaration
int INFORCE::Convert_FundValueBasis(string xx)
{
if(xx=="Current") return 0;
if(xx=="Guarantee") return 1;
if(xx=="Secondary Guarantee") return 2;
LogFile<<"Error: Convert_SMOK_CD_ToInteger() did not read 0,S,N check SMOKER Field"<<endl; exit(0);
}
int RESERVES::Read6D_SelectorNames(vector<vector<vector<vector<vector<vector<double>>>>>> &v,vector<string> &Names,string file_loc,string file_nm)
{
string x = file_loc + file_nm;
FILE *infile;
errno_t e = fopen_s( &infile, x.c_str(), "r" );
if(infile == NULL)
{ LogFile<<"Error - unsuccessful open"<<endl; exit(0);}
else
LogFile<<"Successfully opened"<<endl;
