Re^4: global symbol...explict package name

[rightfield]

Hi, I have made the change. Thank you. I have also review all code blocks to make sure everything grouped properly and all was fine. I can't understand why Perl starts complaining at $ODP2Dir and $ODP2Val but not several lines above where I have $ODP1Dir and $ODP1Val. Thank you for your thoughts.

Are you sure your code now looks something like this?

    if ($ODP1Dir eq "OUT" || $ODP1Dir eq "DOWN") {
      if (length($ODP1Val) != 0) {$ODP1Val = '-' . $ODP1Val;}
      if ($ODP1Dir eq "OUT") {
        $ODP1Dir = "IN";
      } else {
        $ODP1Dir = "UP";
      }
    }

Note also that you need eq instead of == to do a string comparison...
