I don't think I can use a nested table. My values come from a listbox in oracle forms. It is depending on what the user selects. I also noticed that this is quite impossible to do because whatever you put in the variable, it will be seen as one string so everything together will be one value.

I found out another way and that's with dynamic sql. Still if people think it can be done in a more simple way, please reply.
