Compile error at call Package with type parameter

Question

Hello!
I have a problem.
I have a package PKG_ARRAY_PARAMETER. This package has a procedure with an array parameter.
PACKAGE PKG_ARRAY_PARAMETER IS
-- Define Record and Record-Table (array)
TYPE my_rec is record
( v_column1 VARCHAR2(5));
--Array from my_rec
TYPE my_rec_table is table of my_rec
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
v_rectable my_rec_table;
PROCEDURE my_array_proc(p_array my_rec_table);
END;
PACKAGE BODY PKG_ARRAY_PARAMETER AS
PROCEDURE my_array_proc (p_array my_rec_table)IS
v_index BINARY_INTEGER;
v_count number;
BEGIN
v_count := 1;
END;
END;
The package compiled without errors.
The problem ist the call of the package procedure.
DECLARE
     -- Define Record and Record-Table (array)
TYPE my_rec is record
( v_column1 VARCHAR2(5));
--Array from my_rec
TYPE my_rec_table is table of my_rec
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
v_rectable my_rec_table;
BEGIN
     v_rectable(1).v_column1:='aaa';
     PKG_ARRAY_PARAMETER.my_array_proc(v_rectable);
--null;     
END;
I get the error "Error 306.... wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'MY_ARRAY_PROC'"
Can anybody help me. I have no idea wh I get this error.
Thanks

As you have discovered, even if the definitions are identical Oracle treats them as different objects. I recommend "Oracle PL/SQL Programming" by Steven Feuerstein which has a couple of chapters on collections and specifically warns against this.
I have that section bookmarked as I can never remember how to manipulate collections.
