A pair of curly brackets constitute a logical block. A variable declared
inside a block is visible within that block and the blocks contained in that
block. In your case the place where you are using the variable myname is
outside the block where u declared it. Hence the problem. Can you please
paste the code that you have written after moving it up one block. With all
the blocks intact though.

can you provide another test case, or an example of a real exception?
variables defined inside the try/catch aren't available outside of it,
so maybe you're using them inside it normally.
