Stored Procedure with in out parameter of table of records type

Question

Hi
I am tring to create a strore procedure inside a package like this:
procedure name_p(root in table.column%type, tab in out table_of_records_type);
I get the error:
PLS-00306: Wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'name_p'
I am working with oracle 8.1.7.
I dont really understand why this is happening.
Can anyone suggest anything.
Thnx
