Accessing Session Data in ColdFusion

Here I am trying to access session data in a cold fusion page. you can verify below code Section A code was placed in first page and Section B code was placed in second page. When I am going to second page from first page by printing session data,getting an error.But I can able to access session data in first page itself. Am i missing any required tag in second page to access session data. Can anyone please help me on it.

<cfset session.uid="#FORM.Username#"/>

In my limited experience, the filename must be either application.cfc (for universal settings) or application.cfm (for directory-specific settings).

https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/developing-applications/developing-cfml-applications/designing-and-optimizing-a-coldfusion-application/using-an-application-cfm-page.html

So if you're in directory "adir/bdir" and you want to access session variables from directory "adir", you can create a file named "adir/application.cfm" with code from your "Section A", then create another file named "adir/bdir/[name of file].cfm" and put your "Section B". This should enable access to "Section A" session variable from "Section B".
