Well, I'm no good with stored procedures, but to me your code looks
pretty OK and ought to work. The fact that nobody else (not even Helen)
has replied to your question, indicates that there is no obvious error.
Try the following:

1) Drop your stored procedure.

2) Create it again using a few more ':' - i.e.
into :job_num, :job_id, :job_co, :date_opened, :DATE_COMMISSIONED,
:JOB_COMMISSIONED_STATUS, :WIP_PY_START, :WIP_CY_START, :wip_now

and

into :minsale, :maxsale

I suggest that you drop and create your procedure rather than use
recreate because of a former message on this list from Ded which solved
a completely different problem (shot in the dark), and the introduction
of ':' simply because I have no other ideas left. If this doesn't work,
I'm out of ideas and you have to either investigate further or shout
loud enough for someone else on this list to hear you.
