Hi All,

When I run my perl script to create a PDF report, I get the following error:

Warning: <field> element has no '_' key attribute at C:/Perl/site/lib/PDF/Report Writer/Report.pm line 98

The process creates the report. Does anyone know what might be causing this warning? Below is a snippet of the perl and xml code.

Snippet of Perl code. 

my $stmt = "SELECT 
                store_name,
                store_num
            FROM 
                TEST_CORP_LEAS
            order by 
                store_num";   

$query = $connection->prepare($stmt);

$query->execute() or die $connection->errstr; 

my $data = $query->fetchall_arrayref();

$rw->render_report('./layout.xml',\@{$data});
$rw->save();
