Calling a package.procedure that accepts a type table.

Question

I'm getting the error "Error(45,20): PLS-00330: invalid use of type name or subtype name" when I run the procedure SP when it calls the d.is_date procedure that accepts a table as the second parameter.
below is the Abbreviated code for the package.procedures that contain the "is_date".
I've tried several things and can't seem to get SP to compile.
thanks.
create or replace
PROCEDURE SP AS
valid_out boolean;
date_out date;
date_fmt_out varchar2(30);
type Mask_Tabtype is
table of varchar2( 30 )
index by binary_integer;
Fmts Mask_Tabtype;
BEGIN
Fmts( 1 ) := 'fxDD-MON-RR';
Fmts( 2 ) := 'fxDD-MON-YYYY';
Fmts( 3 ) := 'fxDD-MON';
Fmts( 4 ) := 'fxMM/DD';
Fmts( 5 ) := 'fxMM/RRRR';
d.Is_Date( 'test', Mask_Tabtype, Valid_out, Date_out, Date_Fmt_out);
END SP;
create or replace package d as
type Mask_Tabtype is
table of varchar2( 30 )
index by binary_integer;
Fmts Mask_Tabtype;
Procedure Is_Date( Value_in in varchar2,
Tab in Mask_Tabtype,
Valid_out out boolean,
Date_out out date,
Date_Fmt_out out varchar2);
end d;
create or replace package body d as
Fmt_Count integer;
Date_Val date := null;
Date_Fmt varchar2( 30 ) := 'fxMM/DD/YYYY';
Procedure Is_Date(value_in in varchar2, Tab In Mask_Tabtype,
Valid_out out boolean, Date_out out date, Date_Fmt_Out out varchar2)
is
begin
/* Logic here removed to make post smaller
End Is_date;
End d;

Here...
d.Is_Date( 'test', Mask_Tabtype, Valid_out, Date_out, Date_Fmt_out);you are passing in Mast_Tabtype, which is a type declaration, rather than a variable of that type.
Try...
d.Is_Date( 'test', Fmts, Valid_out, Date_out, Date_Fmt_out);
