for one thing, rewrite that as
structtype structs[100].

Second, do you want to be able to use the pointer for something???????
If so, declare it normally, and use an ampersand "&" before it, which
means you get a pointer to where the data is located. I don't think that
you wanted to declare it as a pointer array, nor a pointer to the array.
Probably you should declare a pointer variable with typeof[member], and
assign the &structs[i].member to the pointer variable.

Hope this helps.
