Yes u can pass array to a procedure.
I have created a package that stores the array
definition, and the procedure by name abc which takes an array as
out parameter (script proc1.sql)
and the second script proc2.sql calls the procedure abc and
prints some result
/*File proc1.sql*/
/*IT creates the package T with the definition of array
and passes to the procedure*/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE T as
TYPE arr_type is table of number index by binary_integer;
test_array arr_type;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE abc(t OUT T.arr_type ) IS
begin
for i in 1..10
loop
t(i) := i ;
end loop;
end abc;
/*End of Program proc1.sql*/
/*Program proc2.sql*/
/*This file calls the procedure abc and prints the result*/
declare
test_array T.arr_type;
begin
abc(test_array);
for i in 1..10 loop
dbms_output.put_line('Result '
