It runs fine when I leave out "NOTE" and "LOV_DISPLAY_KEY" which are VARCHAR2. The others are just NUMBER type.

I'm guessing the issue is with the "NOTE" data. If I leave out just "NOTE", it runs and gets all the rows, but then hangs when it attempts to execute the sql again for a second time through a loop it's inside... I'm guessing that's an issue with my code and trying to do it in a loop that way, this is my first time attempting stuff like this so I'm still learning. A broader snip of my perl script:

# establish database connection
my $dsn = "dbi:Oracle:DWAPRD";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass);

# execute "lov_table_lookup.sql"
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($lov_table_sql);
$sth->execute($note_filter, $name_filter);

# print returned data and store table numbers in array
my @table_numbers;
print "\n----------\n";
while(my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
    print $row->{'TABLE_NUMBER'}, " ", $row->{'GLOBAL_SECTION_NAME'}, 
+" ", $row->{'NOTE'}, "\n";
    push(@table_numbers, $row->{'TABLE_NUMBER'});
}
print "----------\n";

# retrieve and print lov value list for each table number found
foreach(@table_numbers) {
    my $row_counter = 1;
    
    # execute "lov_value_lookup.sql"
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($lov_value_sql);
    $sth->execute($_);
    
    print "\n----------\n";
    while(my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
        print "$row_counter ", $row->{'TABLE_NUMBER'}, " ", $row->{'LO
+V_INTEGER_KEY'}, " ", 
        $row->{'LOV_DISPLAY_KEY'}, " ", 
        #$row->{'NOTE'}, 
        "\n";
        $row_counter++;
    }
    print "----------\n";
}

And the error message I get in that case, which seems to be just telling me "hey dummy, you can't do that with a loop that way" or something of that nature:

EDIT: Yes, it runs fine when I moved the prepare statement outside the loop (derp on my part), so the problem is presumably in the "NOTE" column data for those particular rows it's hanging on.
