  select ename,sal,deptno
  from emp
  where deptno=p_deptno;
begin
    for i in c1 (10) loop
    dbms_output.put_line(i.ename||' '||i.sal||'  '||i.deptno);
    end loop;
        for i in c1(20) loop
        dbms_output.put_line(i.ename||' '||i.sal||'  '||i.deptno);
        end loop;
    dbms_output.put_line('hai');
end;

The COUNT method displays number of elements in associate arrays. COUNT can be smaller than LIMIT for Varrays.
