Using TYPES with out in a procedure

Question

Can you use TYPES with the OUT parameter when executing a procedure?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_assoc_status (fin_aor_id IN ASSOCIATE_OFFICE_RECORDS.ASSOCIATE_OFFICE_RECORD_ID%TYPE,
v_amr_id OUT ASSOCIATE_MASTER_RECORDS.ASSOCIATE_MASTER_RECORD_ID%TYPE, ....
In all documentation where I've looked procedures up, all the examples use internal defined types, like NUMBER, VARCHAR2,etc...It seems like there shouldn't be a problem but I keep getting this message:
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 2, column 70:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following:
:= ( ; not null range default character
ORA-06550: line 9, column 1:

Answer 1

Yes, you can use typed output parameters:
sql>create or replace procedure p_test(p_empno in emp.empno%type, p_sal out emp.sal%type)
  2  is
  3  begin
  4    select sal
  5      into p_sal
  6      from emp
  7     where empno = p_empno;
  8  end;
  9  /
Procedure created.
sql>var the_salary number
sql>exec p_test(7369, :the_salary)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
sql>print the_salary
THE_SALARY
       800
