Can sth like this be done?

Question

Hi All,
I am converting from forms 4.5 to 6i.
Somewhere in the block i found a for loop that has been written like this:
for i in :control_block.first_item..:control_block.last_item loop
end loop;
(The error message reads like "bad bind variable 'Control_block.first_item'")
I checked those items and they are inside the control_block.
Any idea on why the error is showing up will be highly appreciated.....
Cheers,

Try putting the value of the control_block.first_item in som evariable
v1 := :control_block.first_item;
v2 := :control_block.last_item;
for i in v1..v2 loop
end loop;
