these two are used with cursors to store the returing

%TYPE:a variable is declared to be of %type when we are
referring to a single specific column.when we declare a
variable to be of %type of a column,the variable datatype

can accomidate multiple datatypes.it can store whole row at
a time containing different datatypes.
