You're problem is this line.

h00019852_depid :=departments.department_id%type;

This is not how you properly state the variable type in PL/SQL.

This way is more accurate....
h00019852_depid departments.department_id%type;

Considering you have a table named departments with a field named department_id.

could somebody check this code for me?

(Toggle Plain Text)

declare 

h00019852_salary employees.salary%type;

begin
select salary,last_name into h00019852_salary
from employees
where last_name=&h00019852_gv_empname;

update employees
set salary = salary +500
where if salary < 3000 then 
dbms_output.put_line(h00019852_gv_empname||' 's salary updated'); 
else 
dbms_output.put_line(h00019852_gv_empname||' earns salary of '|| h00019852_salary); 
end if;

end;

i get this error

old 8: where last_name=&h00019852_gv_empname;
new 8: where last_name=Pataballa;
