WHERE IN CLAUSE USING TYPE

Question

Hi,
How should I use a nested table in the where clause IN ?
desc dept
Name Null Type
NO VARCHAR2(10)
NAME VARCHAR2(20)
create or replace TYPE TBL_VARCHAR2 AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(256);
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE SELECT_IN_TBL AS
CURS SYS_REFCURSOR;
LST TBL_VARCHAR2;
BEGIN
LST := TBL_VARCHAR2('10','20');
OPEN CURS FOR
SELECT * FROM dept where no in lst;
END SELECT_IN_TBL;
Advance Thanks

Have a look at this code:CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tbl_varchar2 AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(256);
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE select_in_tbl
AS
   curs   sys_refcursor;
   lst    tbl_varchar2;
   rec    departments%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
   lst    := tbl_varchar2 ('10', '20');
   OPEN curs FOR
      SELECT *
      FROM   departments
      WHERE  department_id IN (SELECT COLUMN_VALUE FROM TABLE(lst));
  <<myloop>>
  LOOP
    FETCH curs INTO rec;
    EXIT myloop WHEN curs%NOTFOUND;
    dbms_output.put_line(rec.department_name);
  END LOOP myloop;
   CLOSE curs;
END select_in_tbl;
sho err
SET SERVEROUT ON
EXEC select_in_tbl
DROP TYPE TBL_VARCHAR2
DROP PROCEDURE SELECT_IN_TBL
