Reg: PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type error

Question

I am trying to access a table of records through JDBC OracleCallableStatement. I am able to do it fine for all mappings except for the ones below
TYPE CAT_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF A.B %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE ORG_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF C.D %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Column B is CHAR(1) and Column D is CHAR(2). I am trying to register the out parameters of Oraclecallablestatement as
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(2, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(3, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
All the other mappings work fine. These two fail with the error
SQLException in invokeDBPackage() : ORA-06550: line 1, column 32:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 35:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I tried other OracleTypes mappings too but no luck so far.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect someone to sift through that much stuff.
Which parameter is it having a problem with?
Can you modify the following to reproduce the behavior?
Thanks
Greg
create package mypack5 as
TYPE v2array is table of emp.ename%type index by BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE test_it(thearray IN v2array, numrecs out number);
END;
CREATE or replace PACKAGE BODY MYPACK5 AS
PROCEDURE test_it(thearray IN v2array, numrecs out number)
IS
begin
numrecs := thearray.count;
END;
END;
using System;
using System.Data;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
public class indexby
public static void Main()
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("data source=orcl;user id=scott;password=tiger;");
con.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("mypack5.test_it", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter Param1 = cmd.Parameters.Add("param1", OracleDbType.Varchar2);
Param1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
Param1.CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
Param1.Size = 3;
string[] vals = { "foo", "bar", "baz" };
Param1.Value = vals;
OracleParameter Param2 = cmd.Parameters.Add("param2", OracleDbType.Int32, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("{0} records passed in", Param2.Value);
con.Close();
}
