NESTED TABLE BIND VARIABLE IN A REF CURSOR

Question

Hi,
this works:
open c_ref for v_sql using cp_asset_type
where cp_asset_type is a nested tables passed into the proc as an 'in' parameter, but since the number of passed tables varies I loaded the nemes into an a nested table and tried the following:
-- ELSIF BIND_COUNT.COUNT = 8 THEN
-- OPEN C_REF FOR V_SQL
-- USING BIND_COUNT(1),BIND_COUNT(2),BIND_COUNT(3),BIND_COUNT(4),BIND_COUNT(5),BIND_COUNT(6),BIND_COUNT(7),BIND_COUNT(8);     
-- END IF;     
which produced :
ORA-22905 CANNOT ACCESS ROWS FROM A NON-NESTED TABLE ITEM
my guess is that I'm passing the varchar2 names of the nested tables and the 'using' statement needs the actual table ????
if this is true is there any way to pass a pointer for the bind variable nested tables?
Thanks,
Victor
