Information on table type datatypes.

Question

Hi,
I am working with the table type composite datatype. After I insert the values to the table type declared variable how will I be able to print that or use it in further DML operations.
example
create or replace procedure xxx_proc as
type u_rec is record
empno number(5),
ename varchar2(10));
type m_tbl is table of u_rec index by binary_integer;
cursor c1 is select empno, ename from scott.emp;
nokia m_tbl;
motorola u_rec;
i number:=0;
begin
for j in c1 loop
fetch c1 into motorola;
i := i+1;
nokia(i) := motorola;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(nokia.first);
dbms_output.put_line(nokia.last);
dbms_output.put_line(nokia(2));
end;
I execute this proecedure it returns error at 19, how will I print the values.
Regards
Jhansi.

You are driving me crazy
y.empno(i) := i;This should be...
y(i).empno := i;
SQL> declare
  2     type xx is table of emp%rowtype index by binary_integer;
  3     y xx;
  4     i number :=0;
  5  begin
  6     for j in 1..20 loop
  7             i := i+j;
  8             y(i).empno := i;
  9             y(i).ename := 'Mark';
10             y(i).job := 'Clerk';
11             y(i).mgr := i+5;
12             y(i).hiredate := sysdate;
13             y(i).sal := i* 100;
14             y(i).comm := i*10;
15             y(i).deptno := 10;
16     end loop;
17
18     dbms_output.put_line('20 records inserted successfully');
19  end;
20  /
20 records inserted successfully
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.It works but i have no clue what in the world are you trying to do ;)
