SQL & PL/SQL

I've a ProcedureA calling another procedureB. This procedure in inside a package packageB.I've an IF condition (inside Procedure A) to check for a variable "v_errmsg" value inside ProcedureB. The v_errmsg is declared as inside ProcedureB as below.

v_errmsg VARcHAR2(1000) := c_procname 

where c_procname is declared in PackageB body as

c_procname CONSTANT VARCHAR2(32) := 'pr_InitializeGlobalVariables';

My code looks like this

IF packageB.ProcedureB.v_errmsg is null then
...do something
else
... do something else
end if;

this gives an error PLS-00225: subprogram or cursor ProcedureB reference is out of scope.

Any suggestions on how the call to the variable should be is appreciated?
