Hi this is an urgent query

while using the following command for declaring UDP and accessing it through ESQL

DECLARE USERNAME EXTERNAL CHARACTER 'aoservice';
DECLARE PASSWORD EXTERNAL CHARACTER 'aoservice';
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.AscendantOne.(XMLNSC.ProcessingInstruction)"ao-username" = USERNAME;
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.AscendantOne.(XMLNSC.ProcessingInstruction)"ao-password" = PASSWORD;

i get the following error in event log while deploying

BIP2402E: (.testing_Compute1.Main, 6.20) : Syntax error : 'keyword External'.
The token caused a syntax error.
