Hi,

I want to return a PL/SQL Table dynamically from a pl/sql procedure dynamically.

Here , is the package which has the procedure :

create or replace package body pk1 as

procedure proc1(no number, pltab out dbms_sql.varchar2_table)

as
tempdate date;
begin

pltab(1):='First';
pltab(2):='Second';
pltab(3):='Second';
pltab(4):='Second';
pltab(5):='Second';

end proc1;
end pk1;

Fire. sql calls the above procedure :

Fire.sql

declare

pltab2 dbms_sql.varchar2_table;
ln_num number:=100;

c number;
dummy number;
stmt varchar2(100);

begin

stmt := 'begin pk1.proc1(:ln_num, :pltab); end;'; c := dbms_sql.open_cursor;

  dbms_sql.parse(c, stmt, dbms_sql.native);
  dbms_sql.bind_variable(c, ':ln_num', ln_num);
  dbms_sql.bind_array(c, ':pltab', pltab2,1,1);

dummy := dbms_sql.execute(c);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(c);
end;
/

On executing, the above code shows the foll. error:

declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29252: collection does not contain elements at index locations in call to dbms_sql.bind_array

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL", line 605
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 146
ORA-06512: at line 21

Can anyone tell me the reason?
This code has been tried in 8.0.4 , 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 (SOLARIS) oracle versions. It reports the same error.

Thank You.

Arul.
