Pascal App Wont Compile (newb, help!)


Ok, so I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I've checked the code over and over again, and I simply can't figure out why it wont compile.

Here's the error:
Quote:
assignment4Equation_Solver.p: In procedure `Temptotal':
assignment4Equation_Solver.p:4: invalid use of void expression
assignment4Equation_Solver.p:5: invalid use of void expression
assignment4Equation_Solver.p: In procedure `Parsenum':
assignment4Equation_Solver.p:8: parse error before `Read'
And here is the code:

Code:
Program assignment4Equation_Solver(input,output);
Procedure tempTotal(var total, numtemptotal);
  begin
  numtempTotal := total; {store the total remotely}
  total := 0;            {reset the total}
  end;
Procedure parseNum(var total);  
  read(ch);
  while (ch in [0,9]) then
  total := total*10+(ord(ch)- ord('10'));
  until (not ch in['0','9'])
    if (ch = '.') then
    {read another integer}
    {combine the +ve numbers}
      begin
      read(ch);
      while (ch in [0,9]) then
      total := total+(ord(ch) / ord('10'));
      until (not ch in['0','9'])
      end;
Procedure chkNextInput; {checks to see if next input is a number, and not another operator}
if (not ch in [0,9]) then
begin
writeln('Bad Input')
badInput := true;
Break;
end;

CONST

VAR
  total,
  numtempTotal: real;
  badInput: boolean;

begin
{*
input
*}
  badInput := false;
  write('Enter the Equation: ');
  readln(equation);
{*
Parse the input, check for errors and calculate total.
*}

numtempTotal := 0;
total := 0;
while not eoln(equation) do
begin
if (badInput) then
  begin
  Break;
  end;
readNum;
read(ch);
case ch of 
'+';
tempTotal(total);
parseNum;
total := total + numtempTotal;
chkNextInput;

case ch of 
'-'
tempTotal(total);
parseNum;
total := total - numtempTotal;
chkNextInput;

case ch of 
'*'
tempTotal(total);
parseNum;
total := total * numtempTotal;
chkNextInput;

case ch of 
'/'
tempTotal(total);
parseNum;
total := total / numtempTotal;
chkNextInput;

if (eoln(equation)) then
  writeln('The answer to the equation is: ', total);
else
  if (badInput) then
  begin
  Break;
  end;
end;
  
end.
I'm a complete newb to pascal, but it looks fine to me..

-thanks in advance
