CrossAbove() Command - getting error messages

[sra18376]

I am trying to code a simple command (cVal, bVal and aVal have already been defined in earlier code):

 if(CrossAbove(CurrentBar,(cVal+((bVal - aVal)*0.236)),1));
            {
            SendMail("**********@gmail.com","***********@vtext.com", "Buy Signal", "Buy Signal"); 
             }

When I try to compile, I get error messages. The first message highlights the CrossAbove, and has error code CS1502 - c

The 2nd message highlights the cVal and has an error code NT1503 - c

I have no idea what i did wrong, the syntax looks fine to me. Help?

You are trying to use an int and a double as arguments. The CrossAbove() method requires at least one of the arguments to be a DataSeries.

Is there a way to code this without using a dataseries? All I want to get an email when the price goes above the value
(cVal+((bVal - aVal)*0.236))

if (Close[1] <= (cVal+((bVal - aVal)*0.236)) && Close[0] > (cVal+((bVal - aVal)*0.236)))
{
//do whatever
}
