  • FOR loop variable names must be unique if they are used in nested FOR iteration loops.
  • FOR loop variable names can be the same as the cursor name and correlation names within a FOR iteration statement.
  • If you use a FOR loop variable in an SQL statement other than a control statement within the iteration statement, you must prefix it with a colon character (:).
  • Unqualified symbols in a FOR loop are assumed to be variable or parameter names.
