Hi,
Can we create a variable for a Table type variable ?

create table emp_test(id number,name varchar2(20),deptno number, sal number); 
 
insert into emp_test values(751,'Ward',30,1000);
insert into emp_test values(752,'Allen',30,1000);
insert into emp_test values(753,'turner',30,1000);
In the below Package I am creating another variable "v_typ_tab_dept_no" for table type variable "typ_tab_dept_no". Then using the "v_typ_tab_dept_no" as input parameter.
create or replace 
PACKAGE employee_details
    AS
    
    TYPE typ_tab_dept_no IS TABLE OF emp_test.deptno%type;
    
    v_typ_tab_dept_no typ_tab_dept_no:= typ_tab_dept_no();
    
    
    TYPE details
    IS
      RECORD
      (
        p_name   VARCHAR2(40),
        p_emp_id NUMBER );
        
   TYPE table_employees
   IS
     TABLE OF details;
     
     procedure get_employees(
         p_deptno in v_typ_tab_dept_no,
         p_sal IN emp_test.sal%TYPE,
         emp_rec OUT table_employees );
         
   END employee_details;

But I am getting an error as "Error(20,22): PLS-00488: 'V_TYP_TAB_DEPT_NO' must be a type".

Could anyone help me how to create a variable out of Table type variable.

Don't do in PL/SQL that which can be done in plain SQL.
Holding & manipulating data within session PGA totally defeats the goal of supporting a concurrent & multi-user OLTP environment.
What happens if & when table data is changed after the data is read into local variable?

Why don't you direct your question to the individual who wrote the requirement since they obviously know how to do it?
