Oracle Message PLS-00229 - Attribute expression within SQL expression

ERRORAttribute expression within SQL expression
CAUSEAn attribute expression, such as SQL%NOTFOUND, was used in a SQL statement, but attribute expressions are allowed only in procedural statements.
ACTIONTo workaround this limitation, assign the value of the attribute expression to a variable, then use the variable in the SQL statement. For example, replace the statement INSERT INTO audits VALUES (c1%ROWCOUNT, ...); with the following statements: row_count : = c1%ROWCOUNT; INSERT INTO audits VALUES (row_count, ...);
