Error while compiling program unit

Question

Hi All,
I am working on oracle forms 10g.
I am getting an error "wrong no or types of arguments in call to 'COUNTCDRSTODELETE' ", while trying to compile my program unit.
The extract of my program unit is as written below:
PROCEDURE CALL_PCK_BACKOUT IS
-- type bmpf_id_arr is varray(100) of bmp_files.bmpf_id%type;
type bmpf_id_arr is varray(100) of integer;
id_arr bmpf_id_arr := bmpf_id_arr();
file_cnt number := 0;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('B_FILE');
first_record;
LOOP
     --     EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='NEW';
          IF UPPER(:B_FILE.FILE_ON_OFF_IND) = 'Y' THEN
     FOR I IN ( SELECT BMPF_ID FROM BMP_FILES
                         WHERE BMPF_FILENAME = :B_FILE.BMPF_FILENAME
                         AND BMPF_PROCESSING_STATE = 'P'
                         ORDER BY BMPF_ID ASC)
     LOOP
          if file_cnt < id_arr.limit then
               id_arr.extend;
               id_arr(id_arr.last) := i.bmpf_id;                
               INSERT INTO bmp_files_to_backout (file_id, job_id) values (i.bmpf_id,pkg_constants.gt_bat_code_bckout_cdr);
               file_cnt := file_cnt + 1;
          else
               msg_alert('You can select maximum 100 files at a time','E',FALSE);
               RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;     
          end if;                                         
     END LOOP;
     END IF;
     EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD='TRUE';
     NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
if file_cnt = 0 then
     msg_alert('Please select at least one file in order to initiate the backout','E', FALSE);
     go_item('b_ctrl.file_name');
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;     
end if;
if file_cnt > 0 then
commit;
end if;
-- check if the backout request has been accepted or not
if pck_backout.CountCDRStodelete(id_arr,file_cnt) = 0 and pck_backout.AreallCDRSOpen(id_arr,file_cnt) = 0 then
     msg_alert('Backout request can be scheduled for the selected input','E',FALSE);
elsif     pck_backout.CountCDRStodelete(id_arr,file_cnt) != 0 and pck_backout.AreallCDRSOpen(id_arr,file_cnt) != 0 then
     msg_alert('Backout request has been rejected due to maximum number of cdrs exceeded and not all cdrs belonging to open invoices','E',FALSE);
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
elsif     pck_backout.CountCDRStodelete(id_arr,file_cnt) != 0 then
msg_alert('Backout request has been rejected due to maximum number of cdrs exceeded','E',FALSE);
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
elsif pck_backout.AreallCDRSOpen(id_arr,file_cnt) != 0 then
     msg_alert('Backout request has been rejected due to not all cdrs belonging to open invoices','E',FALSE);
     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
end if;
END;
pck_backout is a stored database package. The definition of two functions used above is as given below:
FUNCTION countcdrstodelete (
p_bmpf_id_array IN pkarray,
p_batch_size IN NUMBER
RETURN NUMBER;
FUNCTION areallcdrsopen (p_bmpf_id_array IN pkarray, p_batch_size IN NUMBER)
RETURN NUMBER;
where pkarray is defined as :
TYPE pkarray IS VARRAY (100) OF INTEGER;
Can anyone please tell me why i am getting wronf type or no of arguments error while calling the databse functions.
I guess, it has to do with the varray field. Can you please tell me if i am using any wrong syntax??
I request all the forms gurus to please help me with this.

Answer 1

Hi Fabrio,
I solved my problem.
I'd to actually define pkarray as sql type rather than PL/SQL type.
It's because oracle forms wasn't able to bind the varray defined locally in program unit with the varray defined in stored PL/SQL function.
Once i created pkarray as sql type and removed the declaration of varray in program unit and PL/SQL code, it worked.
Thanks for your reply though.
