When I add "save to" to the line as follows;

select sum((rate* N_of_pages)+ price) tot_inv, sum(Etax) t_Etax from bill
where bill_n= :t_recno save to temp_1

the very next line;

a= tot_inv

gives the error, "Variable undefined. TOT_INV." I didn't have this problem
before adding the "save to" to the statement. What's the problem?
