In Spark 2 this gives me an error in a conditional  IF ELSE statement

I recall seeing the same in standard SQL

I am doing a test for different sources (text file, ORC or Parquet) to be
read in dependent on value of var option

I wrote this

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import java.util.Calendar
import org.joda.time._
var option = 1
val today = new DateTime()
val minutes = -15
val  minutesago =
today.plusMinutes(minutes).toString.toString.substring(11,19)
val date = java.time.LocalDate.now.toString
val hour = java.time.LocalTime.now.toString
case class columns(INDEX: Int, TIMECREATED: String, SECURITY: String,
PRICE: String)













*if(option == 1 ) {   println("option = 1")   val df =
spark.read.option("header",
false).csv("hdfs://rhes564:9000/data/prices/prices.*")   val df2 = df.map(p
=> columns(p(0).toString.toInt,p(1).toString,
p(2).toString,p(3).toString))   df2.printSchema} else if (option == 2) {
val df2 =
spark.table("test.marketData").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)} else
if (option == 3) {    val df2 =
spark.table("test.marketDataParquet").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)}
else {    println("no valid option provided")    sys.exit(0)}*

With option 1 selected it goes through and shows this

option = 1
root
 |-- INDEX: integer (nullable = true)
 |-- TIMECREATED: string (nullable = true)
 |-- SECURITY: string (nullable = true)
 |-- PRICE: string (nullable = true)

But when I try to do df2.printSchema OUTSEDE of the LOOP, it comes back
with error

scala> df2.printSchema
<console>:31: error: not found: value df2
       df2.printSchema
       ^

I can define a stud df2 before IF ELSE statement. Is that the best way of
dealing with it?

Thanks
