in thread still confused!

I made the modifications as you suggested. I'm getting the following errors.

Global symbol "@data" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl l +ine 16. Global symbol "@data2" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl +line 17. Global symbol "$id" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl lin +e 21. Global symbol "$name" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl l +ine 21. Global symbol "$srid" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl l +ine 22. Global symbol "@data" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl l +ine 29. Global symbol "@data2" requires explicit package name at ./billing.pl +line 48. Execution of ./billing.pl aborted due to compilation errors.


But the script still isn't in shape enough to do what I need it to do, right?!

    Actually I fixed that mess. Now when I run the script, I get the following:

    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!
    No such record ZZ!

    The script is reading the wrong field..ZZ is being pulled from the first field, I need the second field to be looked at. Also, it looks as if it's looping through over and over. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
      It looks like you are making progress. You have made enough changes that it would be good if you'd post your code as it now stands so we can see where you are.
