Range variable <variable> hides a variable in an enclosing block or a range variable previously defined in the query expression.

A range variable in a query has the same name as a variable previously defined within the same scope, or a range variable previously defined within the query.

Error ID: BC30978

To correct this error

• Ensure that all range variables in your query have unique names that do not duplicate existing variable names in the same scope.

• Enclose nested queries with duplicate control variable names in parentheses, separating the scope for each range variable.
