The local variable application cannot be declared outside of a function.
I was receiving an ORA-936 on an application I support (Oracle 11g, CF 11, Windows Server 2012). The database went down yesterday, for a reason unknown to me, and when it came up, I am now getting this error message. The only pointer to the .cfm file is the referrer. I don't see how to fix this one. What information can I include that will help you help me? It seems like the more I learn, something new always comes up. Here's the error page that was displayed. I have not changed any declarations, that I know of. Thank you.
The local variable application cannot be declared outside of a function.
All variables defined with the var keyword must be declared inside a function.
