How to call a package in Oracle

Question

I'm trying to call a package in oracle
(this is the oracle way of calling it :
begin pck$xl.get_year_low_high_to_date(:compid, 20010801 , 20020108 ",:year_low,:year_high,:year_average,:low_date,:high_date); end;)
but i can't get it right.
I'm new to package calling in Oracle from Java, till now i only worked with SQL statements without parameters of that kind, can someone help me with this?
ps the ":compid" is a parameter i have to fill in and provide...
thank you very much
