Multiple record insert thru PROCEDURE - Urgent

Question

All,
My requirement is, I have to invoke a procedure which accepts two input and 1 out variable. The operation of the procedure is to insert the data to two tables(head_tab and line_tab-accepts multiple record). I used %rowtype for the two inputs i.e procedure proc(head_var head_tab%rowtype, line_var line_tab%rowtype, out_var out number). The incoming doc comes from 3rd party application which sends a header record and multiple line record for the same header.
I used the transformation activity, to insert line record I used for-each loop for multiple record. But %rowtype being a scalar data type, it doesn't accept array of record to it! I'm stuck here. Can we achieve this scenario with using of procedure? or should I configure DBAdapter to insert the data directly to the table rather the procedure does this? If we can achieve it thru procedure, how can I go about?
Thanks,
Sen

Hi,
I believe you should change the signature of the procedure.
I tried below code for my proc to send multiple records without use of for loop.
Type line_var_rec IS RECORD(
Var1;
var2;
Type line_var_tab IS TABLE OF line_var_rec INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
Type head_var_rec IS RECORD(
var3;
var4;
line_var line_var_tab ;
Type head_var_tab IS TABLE OF head_var_rec INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
proc(head_var IN head_var_tab, out_var out number);
With the above code you can insert multiple header records each having multiple line records.
Pls let me know if u have any questions.
