Narrative:

During training on the P sector an IFR aircraft X departed pie and was climbing to 3000 feet. During aircraft X's climb aircraft Y called off a satellite airport just northwest of pie looking for an IFR clearance. Aircraft Y was instructed to maintain VFR below 3000 feet and squawk his code. Aircraft X was instructed to turn 20 degrees to the right for traffic (observing aircraft Y tag up on code). I issued an IFR clearance to aircraft Y; then turned aircraft X further east. Do not issue the IFR clearance until prescribed separation is established.

Title: TPA TRACON Controller describes a loss of separation with two aircraft. Controller identifies second aircraft and makes the aircraft IFR while in close proximity of another IFR.

Narrative: During training on the P sector an IFR Aircraft X departed PIE and was climbing to 3000 feet. During Aircraft X's climb Aircraft Y called off a satellite airport just NW of PIE looking for an IFR clearance. Aircraft Y was instructed to maintain VFR below 3000 feet and squawk his code. Aircraft X was instructed to turn 20 degrees to the right for traffic (observing Aircraft Y tag up on code). I issued an IFR clearance to Aircraft Y; then turned Aircraft X further East. Do not issue the IFR clearance until prescribed separation is established.
