    Solution in varchar2
) AS

Answer 1

what you described is called variable shadowing. It can happen in any language. You were given good workarounds but the common solution is to design a naming scheme so that it will never happen.

For example, name your columns without prefix and have your variables with a prefix that depends upon their scope (P_ for parameters, L_ for local variables, G_ for global package variables, etc...). This will have the added benefit of making the code more readable by giving you additional information.
