DOH ..... DOH ..... NEVER MIND, user error ( <- gun to head) DOH ..... DOH ..... DOH .....
============================================ Hi .... I have a hash defined as my %flag3 = ( A => "DBSpace backup thread", B => "Begin work", C => "Commiting/committed", H => "Heuristic aborting/aborted", P => "Preparing/prepared", R => "Aborting/aborted", X => "XA prepare" ); I want to print out the value of the corresponding key -- without a loop iteration. The following works (displays 'value exists'), but is not what I want print "value exists" if exists $flag3{$pos3}; I want this to print the string. HELP PLEASE!
