What syntax error? It's always helpful if you can post the actual error
message.

You appear to have two very different versions of the tubecross table.
One version has three fields (id, num, data) and the other version has at
least four (station_code, SAJ, SPB, SOQ). Which one is correct?
Also, what is the 'cursor_to' variable? It doesn't appear to be defined
anywhere.
