Using %TYPE in function defs

Answered my own question by TRYING it .... oooooo .... scary for a responsible 44 year old, who
knows the cost of experiments gone wrong. But OTOM, my instllation is just starting so I could
break something and not cry about it.

It is possible to define a function using %TYPE. Maybe this could be put in the manuals?

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_usr ( Usrs.first_name%TYPE,
                                     Usrs.middle_name%TYPE,
                                     Usrs.sur_name%TYPE,
                                     Usrs.sur_name_extra%TYPE,
                                     Gens.gen%TYPE,
                                     EmailAddrs.email_addr%TYPE,
                                     UsrEmailAddrTypes.usr_email_addr_type%TYPE,
                     UsrEmailAddrs.pri_for_usr%TYPE)
