Can someone tell me what this code is doing? I am new at Perl and am totally lost! I need this to use the customerNumber from the form and read a database to get information and display it until there is no more information for that number. In the database, there are mulitple rows of information for one customer. When I run this I get nothing. Why?....
while ($CustomerNumber = $Data{"CustomerNumber"}) { $db->Sql("SELECT * FROM Cust_act_da WHERE CustomerNumber = $C +ustomerNumber AND #TransType = P"); $db->FetchRow(); ($TransDate, $TransPmtAmt) = $db->Data("TransDate", "TransPmt +Amt"); $FormatTransDate = substr($TransDate, 0, 10); $FormatTransPmtAmt = sprintf("\$%.2f", $TransPmtAmt); print $FormatTransDate; print "    "; print $FormatTransPmtAmt; }
