You declare

ArrayList<Customer> cl=new ArrayList<Customer>();
ArrayList<Book> bl=new ArrayList<Book>();

inside the main method, so they are local to that method. If you want to access them from all the methods of the class they need to be declared outside any one method - like the variables in your Customer and Book classes.
ps Please write your posts in normal English, especially for the benefit of the majority of DaniWeb users for whom English is a foreign language.
pps: having variables called c1 and cl, b1 and bl is probably the most ingenious stupid idea I have seen in a long time!

yaa i will do it... sorry.....

iam getting error in this

You haven't defined a variable called cid, so that's why it can't be found. Fix that first.
You'll have fewer errors like this if you use good descriptive names for everything, and have a consitent sty;e for capitalisation etc. A parameter list like
(int id2,int bid2)
tells you nothing - but maybe one of these is a customer ID???

Yes. Your variables are all instance variables, but main is (must be) a static method, so it doesn't have an instance to hold the values of those variables (Google that if it's not clear).
A good solution is (1) to create a new instance of Lib and (2) take all that code out of main and put it in an ordinary method called, eg, runUserInterface().
So now you structure for Lib looks like this:

class Lib...
   public static void main...
      Lib myLibrary = new Lib();
      myLibrary.runUserInterface();
   }

   void runUserInterface() {
      // all the code that's currently in main
   }

Can you plz compile all the code and paste it here.... iam little bit confused..... thanking u so much

No way. This is your program. I'll advise you, but you have to do the work.

i did what u told but same problem persists at main statement and at Lib object.....

exaxtly whts the prblm????

The error message says "inner class" - that means a class that's declared inside another class. I don't think you intended that. That happens because you have the { and } matched up wrong. Your class Customer looks like its missing a closing }, so everything after that is still inside the Customer class rather than being at the same level as it.
To avoid this problem indent your code properly - then you can see how your {} are matched up.

ps: Hi @115harman. Please feel free to contribute here, but don't forget that we have to help maroom learn to fix his own problems, and not just tell him the answer.

hey iam using drjava... to compile my program..... rectified all errors well worked....

but when i clicked run in drjava it showed me error " Static Error: This class does not have a static void main method accepting String[].
"

i ignored it and typed java Lib
it worked..... and got the output

plz help to rectify this run time error..

Sorry, I use Eclipse and don't know DrJava - presumably there's some kind of project setup where you identify the main class?

thank U... vey kind of u... for the suggestion....

i too used... eclipse.... it get succesfully run..... aby way thanks so much to this forum and U.....

OK, glad to help. Mark this "solved" now?
I'm going to dinner now. Bye.
