PLS-306 WHILE CALLING A REMOTE PROCEDURE USING A PL/SQL TABLE AS A PARAMETER

You have created two packaged procedures, one on a local machine and the other on a remote machine.  You have defined a PL/SQL table type within both package specifications.  The remote procedure is defined to accept a PL/SQL table of the defined table type as a parameter.  The PL/SQL table created within the local procedure is declared and passed to the remote procedure.  The remote procedure is responsible for populating the PL/SQL
