struct tm problem

I receive an integer as argument for a function.
within function definition i want it to be of type struct tm.

eg..
main()
{
int a;
......
}
function(...,..,a,..)
int a;
{
struct tm tm;
if(!a)
^ time(&a);
^ memcpy(&tm,localtime(&LogTime),sizeof(struct tm));

}

gives me error at the line ^ why ?

What error do you face? Are the errors compile time or runtime?
