Ok I am at a loss I have a query that work in one perl program but not in the other, I have stripped the code down to the bare essentials and have looked for any differences between the one that works and the one that does not but can find no problems. I get an Oracle error on this, if I select on a given field no error but the print only returns info if the data is half or less of the column size.... Am I missing something obvious here ???? 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

my @listOfPaths;
my @listOfNames;
my %dbf;
my $linkpage;
my %rels=();
my %relsdt=();
my %vals=();
my $dbh;


$ENV{"ORACLE_HOME"}="ORACLE_HOME=/oravl01/oracle/8.0.6/";
$ENV{"TWO_TASK"}="nxt1";

&sqlConnect("alan1", "alan1");

&getRef;
    
&sqlDisconnect;

sub sqlConnect() {


    $connectString=join '/', $_[0], $_[1];

    $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:',$connectString);

    unless ($dbh) {
        &showSQLError($DBI::errstr);
    }

}

sub getRef() {

    $statement = "select * from OPEN_ISSUES order by OI_REFERENCE asc"
+;

    print "$statement\n";

    $rqry = $dbh->prepare($statement) or &showSQLError($dbh->errstr);

    $rqry->execute or &showSQLError($DBI::errstr);

    &showSQLError($DBI::errstr);

    unless ($dbh) {
        &showSQLError($DBI::errstr);
    }

    print "\n#";

    while($oir=$rqry->fetchrow_hashref) {
        print "\n- $oir->{'OI_REFERENCE'}";
    }

    print "\n#\n";

    $rqry->finish or &showSQLError($DBI::errstr);

    print "- $oir->{'OI_REFERENCE'}\n";

}

sub showSQLError() {
    print "<SCRIPT> alert('$_[0]');</SCRIPT>";
