Hi Monks,
This code gets a value from another part of my program, as you can see I am just trying to pass a variable value into this subroutine, and when the program runs it ignores de $sql and the DB connection doesn't work. It generates an error like:
2002-04-09<[Thu Nov 11 09:39:18 2004] assignment.pl: DBD::ODBC::st fet
+chrow_hashref failed:
(DBD: no select statement currently executing err=-1) at assignment_c.
+pl

I am trying to understand why the code retrieving the information is actually causing the sub routine not to work, but if a comment out the line:
my ($all_info) = shift (@_);

[download]

The program runs fine.
Thanks for the help!
Here is the code
There is more to the code, but all I would like to know is why this line is causing all my problems.
my ($all_info) = shift (@_); 
sub C58MASTP
{
my $check;    
# retrieving argument

my ($all_info) = shift (@_);
    
if($X_NUM){$check=$X_Y;}
if($all_info){$check=$all_info;}

$sql= "SELECT C.mast1, C.mast2 FROM MASTER WHERE C.mast1=$check  AND C
+.mast2=$X_Y";

}
