In the following code, the statement, "print FH $data{name};" does not print anything. I do have a column in my table named 'name'. This has to be a simple error. I should add that I have printed out the generated SQL statement and it works fine. I should be able to assume that my session was successful with RaiseError set to one correct?

############################################################
sub getInfo
############################################################
{
my $dbtable = shift;
my $function = shift;
my $where = shift;

my ($dbh, $sth, @datetime, @date, $name, %data);
my $i=0;

$dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:Servers', { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit =>
+ 0 });
       
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "$function FROM $dbtable $where" );
$sth->execute;
$sth->bind_columns( \( @data{ @{$sth->{NAME_lc} } } ));  
$sth->{'ChopBlanks'} =1;    

@datetime = split(' ', $data{submit_date});
@date = split(/-/,$datetime[0]);
my $userid = $data{name};
my $username = findADname($userid);
  
open(FH, "> SQLoutput.txt")or die("Couldn't open SQLoutput.dat\n");
     print FH $data{name};
     print FH "Hello";
close FH;

$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();          #----Needed to free up system resources.
}

Thanks for your help,

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
