John,

You don't say what your problem is, but I'll take a shot anyway...

1) Your SELECT (0) and following USE seem to be redundant. The table pplines should already be SELECTed automatically.

2) The SET ORDER statement should not have quotation marks around the TAG's name.

3) The TRIM() in is probably best left out.

If none of this helps, please tell us what error you are getting or what is not working as expected.
