"Let me know if you have questions or need clarifications."

Well, I've already done that but you haven't responded yet.

I asked you to try some print statements; I even provided sample code. Did you do this? What was the result?

I asked about which variable was supposed to hold 001. You haven't told us.

[Separate issue.] Your output is dependent on user input. You don't show what that user input is.

"and output from the above script looks like this"

No, that's not possible! Look at this line: 

print OUT $pref . $number . "," . $prodvolumename . ",$tiffpath\\$pref
+$number.tif,";

How can this concatenation 

$pref . $number

[download]

produce

þHJH1411255

[download]

when the same concatenation (albeit coded slightly differently)

$pref$number

[download]

produces

HJH1411255

[download]

Where did that thorn character come from in the first instance; or, conversely, how did it disappear in the second instance?

Either that's not the output you're getting or you're running different code to what you posted.

All I can do now is make guesses! Maybe the user isn't including 001 when entering $tiffpath. Maybe your code doesn't generate 001 for the output. Maybe something else.
