Don't give the classname with space.Please go thru sun site for declarations and code code conventions.
Change the classname as "PayrollProgramPart2" and compile.

[mtyoung]

filename and public class name need to be same

and plz use meaningful title

[CJSLMAN]

public class Payroll Program Part 2
{

The name of the class can't contain spaces. If you eant to use the above, it should be:

public class PayrollProgramPart2
{

Luck,
CJSL
