BULKING and FORALL statement does not pass values to non DML statements.

Question

Hi
I've got million rows that i need to manapulate and insert into various procedures depending on the bussiness rule to be applied, but my dilemma is that the BULIKNG with a combination of a FORALL statement its not compatible(only considers straightforward DML calls) or the the FORALL does not like other SQL statements or calls as it prefers only DML's.
Below is code fragment that is problamatic as the compiler keeps sending me this error: PLS-00201: identifier 'INDX' must be declared
I want to manupulate data on the implicity cursor and call a procedure to do other stuff which don't use INSERT/DELETE or UPDATE statements.
Declare
TYPE tab_person_id is of table of number(15);
l_person_id tab_person_id;
BEGIN
SELECT person_id
BULK COLLECT INTO l_person_id
FROM person_details; /*-Million records-*/
FORALL indx IN l_tdtl.FIRST..l_tdtl.LAST
pj_pkg.ins_intf
(p_user => p_user,
p_typ_cd => '00',
p_person_id => l_person(indx)
Commit;
END;
How do I pass this value 'l_person(indx)' on the package procudure ?
Thanks
Amos
