PLS-00225: subprogram or cursor 'string' reference is out of scope..

Answer / guest

Cause: The prefix in a qualified name was a subprogram or
cursor which was not in an enclosing scope; i.e., a
subprogram or cursor name is being used as a scope qualifier
for a reference to an entity (within that subprogram or
cursor) that is not in scope. Example: declare x number;
type t1 is record (a number); function f return t1 is a
number; begin x := f.a; -- legal use of function "f" as a
scope qualifier; -- resolves to local variable "a" in
function "f". x := f().a; -- legal reference to component
"a" of returned record end; begin x := f.a; -- illegal use
of function "f" as a scope qualifier x := f().a; -- legal
reference to component "a" of returned record end;

Action: a) if the intention was to refer to a local variable
of a non-enclosing function, this is not allowed; remove the
reference b) if this is a parameterless function, and the
the intention was to access a field of the result of a call
to this function, then use empty parentheses in the call.
