Then my assumption was wrong. Here is the entire function and it fails with the names c2,c2div,c3,c3div, but if names are changed, it works! (by works I mean I get the "hello" lines printed) There is nothing wrong with the select statement either, that works fine if I run it stand-alone, or with the names of c2,c2div,c3,c3div changed.
