Hello.

Actually PL/SQL only support scalar datatypes in an array. However, you could define a package where you can define several arrayas (one per each component of the record) and then write some access procedures.
In this way, the application will see an array through the access procedures. You will have the further benefit of having global arrays, since variables in a package persist during the whole connect session.

Hope this helps.
Greetings, Federico.
