Error while compiling trigger/procedure for a table in which attribute is r

Question

I have table
desc pappu
name varchar(10);
start varchar(5);
end varchar(5);
One of the attribute is end which is also a reserved keyword in oracle.I want to create some procedure/trigger which use the attribute end but i get errors while compiling that "
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the
following:
<an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier>
The symbol "<an identifier> was inserted before "END" to
continue.
Any workaround for this.

SQL> create table pappu (name varchar(10),stat varchar(5),end varchar(5));hi,
earlier you have given column name start and here you are creating table with colum name stat....anyway try to use column alias for column END
CREATE TABLE pappu (NAME VARCHAR(10),STAT VARCHAR(5),END VARCHAR(5));
INSERT INTO PAPPU ( NAME, STAT, END ) VALUES ( 'name1', '1', '14');
INSERT INTO PAPPU ( NAME, STAT, END ) VALUES ( 'name2', '15', '20');
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testpappu
AS
CURSOR test1
IS
SELECT NAME,stat AS st,END AS v_end FROM pappu;
BEGIN
     FOR i IN test1
     LOOP
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'name - '||i.NAME ||'-'||i.st||'-'||i.v_end );
     END LOOP;
END;
SQL> exec testpappu;
name - name1-1-14
name - name2-15-20
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Thnx
