Hi, You may find it easier to locate errors in your code if it were restructured to clarify and simplify the logic and eliminate many brackets. Here is an example, it may not do exactly what you want but I hope this gives you the idea. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI ;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

my($username)= "someuser";
my($password)= "knownuser";
my($dbh)= DBI->connect ("DBI:mysql:hf", $username , $password);
my($empName)= param("empName");
my($year)   = param("year");
my($mon)    = param("mon");
DBI -> trace(4 , 'dbitrace');

# logic
my $result;
if ($year && $mon){
  $result = getResult($empName);
} else{
  $result = "Select year and month. <br>";
}

# result
print <<end_of_html;
Content-type: text/html

<html><head><title> Job Status Display Page</title></head> 
<body>
$result
<a href="/jsdisp.html" > Back </a>
</body></html>
end_of_html

#process
sub getResult {

  my $empName = shift;
  my $table = q!<table border="1" height="8%">
<tr valign="center" align="middle">
<td width="10%">Current Date</td>
<td width="10%">Name</td>
<td width="15%">Job Allocated</td>
<td width="10%">Allocation Date</td>
<td width="10%">Target Date</td>
<td width="15%">Job Under Execution</td>
<td width="15%">Job Pending </td>
<td width="15%">Remark </td>
</tr>!;

  my $date1 = $year.$mon.'00';
  my $date2 = $year.($mon++).'00';

  my $sql   = "select * from jobStat where cdate > ? and cdate < ?";
  my $noMsg = "No records found for given date.<br>";
  if ($empName){
    $sql .= " and empName='$empName'";
    $noMsg = "No records found for $empName for given date.<br>";
  }
 
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
  $sth->execute($date1,$date2);

  my $count=0;
  while (my @arr = $sth->fetchrow_array){
    $table .= qq!<tr valign="center" align="middle">
<td>$arr[5]</td>
<td>$arr[8]</td>
<td>$arr[1]</td>
<td>$arr[6]</td>
<td>$arr[7]</td>
<td>$arr[2]</td>
<td>$arr[3]</td>
<td>$arr[4]</td>
<tr>!;
   ++$count;
  }

  if ($count==0){
    return $noMsg;
  } else {
    $table .= q!</table>!;
    return $table;
  }
}
