No argument of type TABLE frm-10764 error

Question

I'm trying to base a data block on a procedure. When I use a cursor ref there is no problem, however when I use a table I get the error no argument of type TABLE or REFCURSOR (frm-10764). In the package I have defined a table and I use an in out variable of the table type defined. In the block I reference the package.procedure and I get the above message. Can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks
Simon

Hello,
If i understood u guys correctly then here is example and it is working perfectly with F5.0 & O8.0. May be u will find some un-necessary code. pl. ingore it.
Step1- Create a stored Package Specification with declaration of ur REF Cursor.
package plsql_tab IS
--Declare REF Cursor Type
type plsql_refcur is ref cursor;
end plsql_tab;
Step2- Create ur own stored procedure and pass REF cursor as an argument.
procedure proc1
(p_cur in plsql_tab.plsql_refcur)
is
k pls_integer := 0;
var1 number;
var2 varchar2(50);
begin
loop
fetch p_cur into var1, var2;
exit when k>=10 or p_cur%notfound;
insert into plsq_tbl values
(k,'In Proc1 : '| |var2);
dbms_output.put_line('In Proc1 : '| |var2);
end loop;
close p_cur;
end;
Step3- Create a form, write form procedure like below and then call this procedure on WHEN-Button-Press or anywhere u needed.
procedure proc2 is
--declare REF Cursor
cur_plsql plsql_tab.plsql_refcur;
begin
--Open REF Cursor for a given Qry
open cur_plsql for select * from plsq_tbl
where rownum < 10;
--Pass REF Cursor as an IN Parameter
proc1(cur_plsql);
--Close REF Cursor
close cur_plsql;
end;
Hope it will help u.
Thanks & Regards,
