Hi saurabh,
The error is coming inside this code
form xyz.
if var = '9'.
clear : var.
endif.
endform.
So either declare a new local variable here with name var.
Or
move the declaration of var
form abc.
data : var type i.  "<------------- this line
outside of the form, at a global level.
hope this helps.
regards,
