Need help on syntax of PL/SQL Table type

Question

Hi Everyone
I have the following Procedure
DECLARE
TYPE ln_empno IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
ln_empno1 ln_empno;
dml_errors EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (dml_errors, -24381);
ERRORS NUMBER;
BEGIN
UPDATE emp
SET empno = empno
RETURN empno
BULK COLLECT INTO ln_empno1;
FORALL idx IN 1 .. ln_empno1.COUNT SAVE EXCEPTIONS
INSERT INTO t1
VALUES (ln_empno1 (idx));
EXCEPTION
WHEN dml_errors
THEN
ERRORS := SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT;
FOR i IN 1 .. ERRORS
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Error '
|| i
|| ' occurred during '
|| 'iteration '
|| SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS (i).ERROR_INDEX
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( 'Oracle error is '
|| SQLERRM (-SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS (i).ERROR_CODE
END LOOP;
END;
This will collect the single column, I am not able to get the syntax to create a record containg empno and ename and bulk collect into a collection type.
Can anyone help me to execute this procedure for ln_empno as a record of empno and ename.
Thanks in Advance

Also,
If you want it as an update then why not just alter as per my example... e.g.
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
  1  DECLARE
  2    TYPE lt_emp_rec IS RECORD (empno NUMBER, deptno NUMBER);
  3    TYPE lt_emp IS TABLE OF lt_emp_rec INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
  4    lr_emp lt_emp;
  5  BEGIN
  6    UPDATE emp
  7    SET deptno = deptno+10
  8    RETURNING empno, deptno
  9    BULK COLLECT INTO lr_emp;
10    FOR idx IN 1 .. lr_emp.COUNT
11    LOOP
12      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('EmpNo: '||to_char(lr_emp(idx).empno)||' ::: DeptNo: '||to_char(lr_emp(idx).deptno));
13    END LOOP;
14* END;
