How to declare a table type while executing a Procdure??

Question

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem that i'm not able to call a type as an input to a proc.
My proc has two inputs as table type and other normal inputs.
I'm using these table type to insert value into another table.
But when i try and execute the procedure in a DECLARE - BEGIN - END block, i'm not able to define the type properly.
Please help mw put on this??
Thnx in advance!!!

Are you trying to create stored procedure with table type parameter? If so, you either needto declare table type in sql or in a PL/SQL package. For example:
SQL> create or replace
  2    type tbl_type
  3    as table of number
  4  /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace
  2    procedure p1(
  3                 p_tbl tbl_type
  4                )
  5      is
  6      begin
  7          for i in 1..p_tbl.count loop
  8            dbms_output.put_line(p_tbl(i));
  9          end loop;
10  end;
11  /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> begin
  2      p1(tbl_type(1,3,5,99));
  3  end;
  4  /
1
3
5
99
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create or replace
  2    package pkg1
  3      is
  4        type tbl_type is table of number;
  5  end;
  6  /
Package created.
SQL> create or replace
  2    procedure p2(
  3                 p_tbl pkg1.tbl_type
  4                )
  5      is
  6      begin
  7          for i in 1..p_tbl.count loop
  8            dbms_output.put_line(p_tbl(i));
  9          end loop;
10  end;
11  /
Procedure created.
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> begin
  2      p2(pkg1.tbl_type(1,3,5,99));
  3  end;
  4  /
