Hi Monks

I have a problem with the following: 


   my $sql_A = "SELECT DISTINCT parameter_id FROM e.measurement WHERE 
+((parameter_id LIKE 'M%') OR (parameter_id LIKE 'G%') OR (parameter_i
+d LIKE 'E%')) AND parameter_id NOT LIKE '%_________8__' ORDER BY para
+meter_id;";
    
    my $Output_A = "List_parameters_common_to_centers.txt";   
    
    open (OUTFILE_A, ">>$Output_A") || die "Error opening outfile.$!,s
+topped";
    
    
    my $sth_A = $dbh->prepare($sql_A) or die "Cannot prepare: " . $dbh
+->errstr();
    $sth_A->execute() or die "$sth_A->errstr\n";
    
    my @row_A; 
    my @parameters_A; 
    my @record_A; 
    
    while(@row_A = $sth_A->fetchrow_array()) {
    @record_A = @row_A;
    push(@parameters_A, @record_A);
    print OUTFILE_A "@record_A\n";
    }
    
    
    $sth_A->finish();

The Perl code seems to drop a whole lot of what the select statement takes. UPDATE: This is comparing what i get from the SELECT statement directly, to what I get with it is buried in perl code.

UPDATE: I think that there is a memory problem because there should be 911 rows and instead I am getting 459, with the last row only being a partial string.
