You don't close the CFAPPLICATION tag, it is used only to set values based
on it's attributes; it doesn't enclose anything.
When you set variables, you must supply a scope to them. If you don't, it
defaults to the VARIABLES scope. You want this:
<cfset application.dsn_course_catalog = "db_cource_catalog" />
^^^^^^^^^^^^
That'll set the variable in the APPLICATION scope. There are also
ATTRIBUTES, CALLER, REQUEST, SESSION, CLIENT, and SERVER scopes. Of those,
REQUEST, SESSION and CLIENT are the three to primarily worry about.
