Creating a Record structure and passing this to a Procedure

Question

Hi there
I have a query please.
Can I create a Record Structure composed of fields
from different tables and then pass this record structure
to a procedure.?
ie Create Procedure ProcedureTest(empRec empStructCreated%ROWTYPE)
where empStructCreated is the RECORD STRUCTURE created
and composed of fields from different tables.
Please can some one help me on this.
Assume that I have 3 tables and I am creating a record structure
composed of 6 fields (2 fields from each of the 3 tables),and then
once this record structure is created,I will be passing this to
a procedure.
