Getting Incorrect data type error while trying to do a CAST in table

Question

Getting an error while trying to compile the following piece of code
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY A_pkg AS
FUNCTION A(O_error_message IN OUT varchar2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
--Declaring the local variables and CURSORs used in the program unit
L_attrib_tbl CFA_SQL.TYP_attrib_tbl;
cursor c1 is
select list_first1.number_11
from TABLE (CAST (L_attrib_tbl AS "CFA_SQL.TYP_attrib_tbl")) list_first1;
BEGIN
L_group_id = '22'
IF L_merch_type_value = 'G' OR L_merch_type_value = 'I' THEN
CFA_SQL.QUERY_ATTRIB(L_attrib_tbl,
L_group_id) ;
END IF;
open C1;
Fetch C1 into L_number;
close C1;
return true;
END A;
END;
Also pasting the Spec for CFA_SQL which contains TYP_attrib_tbl
TYPE TYP_attrib_rec IS RECORD
group_id CFA_ATTRIB_GROUP.GROUP_ID%TYPE,
varchar2_1 VARCHAR2,
number_11 number(10,0));
TYPE TYP_attrib_tbl is TABLE of TYP_attrib_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
The error is coming in the line
cursor c1 is
select list_first1.number_11
from TABLE (CAST (L_attrib_tbl AS "CFA_SQL.TYP_attrib_tbl")) list_first1;
with the error as Invalid data type pointing to CFA_SQL.TYP_attrib_tbl as invalid, but I have initialized L_attrib_tbl as of that datatype only. Ahy help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kelly,
There is no data that is entered in that period.The data will be entered for that period next month.
POV is also not set to that period,but still the problem persists.
Thanks
