i'm a plus two student and haven't gone into an in-depth study of the language.this code is my project 4 boards.
on compiling the code,the error message was as follows:

I have several things to mention.

The code you posted is not well formatted. Select the code in your post and click on "code block". Add indentation to it to show the structure and make it more readable. I also think it is overly long for a post. Something shorter & better formatted would be easier/more likely for people to read & help you with. Yes, you are saying, "but that's how long my code is." Well, you could try to temporarily remove parts of your code to get something smaller that exhibits the problem. This could even help you find the problem yourself.

Next,
you wrote:
while compiling i got an exception 13 error

I was confident that this is inaccurate. Since you posted the error message I am not so confident. When building a program there is: pre-processing, compile, and link time. After this there is run time. I believe that your General Protection Fault (exception 13) is at run-time. It is important to have the process clear in your head both for communication and for figuring things out yourself. ( A GPF at compile time is a potential - I have seen the equivalent. )

The compiler you are using is from somewhere around 1990 to 1995. It was good then. However, changes were made to the C++ language in the 1990s that had a profound affect on the language. The standard for the language was officially released in 1998. Your compiler will not handle standard C++. The dialect it does accept is not appropriate for a standards compliaint compiler like (hopefully) most of use are using. It may also not be fully compatible with Windows XP.

I have recently dealt with a client who was trying to put Turbo C version 3.0 on Windows XP to support a very legacy C (not C++) DOS project. It turned out that the (DOS legal) names of some of the source code files were triggering some error in Turbo C under XP, though there had been no problem when running under earlier versions of Windows. You may be experiencing something similar. If you really, really have to use this compiler, you might try digging out a Windows 95 or 98 machine to go with it. If you are learning C++ for the future, you should move on to a modern compiler. Microsoft has an express edition of their compiler that can be downloaded for free.

Now, if you were using a reasonably modern compiler on Windows and this occurred at runtime, you would be getting an option to start the debugger. This would at least tell you where your code died. This could be a starting point to figuring out your problem.

Finally, in glancing over your code I can see a number of issues. You are going to need to work on it to find them all. I will only point out three here.

1) You have in your code:
if((day>0)||(day<32)||(month>0)||(month<13)||(year>2009)||(year<2014))

This test will never fail. What you wrote was not what you intended and you will need to think about it and fix it. It is not, however, the cause of your exception 13.

2) You are using both gets() and std::cin for input. They are likely to interfere with each other. Choose one and stick to it.

3) You are doing input into char arrays at various places. If the input is longer than you have allowed for, Bad Things can happen - including a GPF. This or something like it could very well be your problem. Consider using std::string (with std::cin) instead. Note: Your current compiler does not have this.

Compiler errors are full of useful information, for instance, they indicate the line of the source code wherein the error occurs.
Please post just the relevant code and the full compiler error message.

This is not valid C++. If your teacher thinks it is, find a new teacher.
