What I have is one table which stores device_id numbers that are referenced
on the second table "library.devices".
I need to insert device_ids from the first table that satisfy the conditions
of the argument found on the library table. Hence the 'where' clause.
So far all I can get are errors when I attempt this procedure.
Hence - my problem.

Huh? How did library.devices get into this? Are you trying to join to
it, and if so why, seeing that the value you want to insert into
p_id.loops is independent of that table?
