PL/SQL: ORA-00984: column not allowed here

[jayjabour]

A system administrator for one of our apps is performing an upgrade. One of the steps in the upgrade runs a script that bombs out. The error he recieves is :
ERROR at line 29:
ORA-06550: line 29, column 7:
PLS-00302: component 'MCFUQTIMEOUT' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 29, column 7:
PL/SQL: ORA-00984: column not allowed here
ORA-06550: line 8, column 1:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored

Here is the section of the script giving him the problem

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should make that an implicit cursor. You should also move the commit outside of the loop. Is MCFUQTIMEOUT a valid column in the PS_MCFUQTIMEOUT table/view/synonym?

Seems like a straight insert would be appropriate here.
