how do u view collections?

I am running an old version of pl/sql dev 5.1.0.654 01.8034. But it has a menu option to view collections while debugging. I haven't been able to get it to work, however. What steps should lead to a view of a collection in a user-defined type?

You can only view collections of a scalar data type. Collections of user-defined types cannot be viewed from within the debugger.

Thank you Marco. Let's say I want to view a scalar collection within a user-defined type. What steps should I take?

Just right-click on the collection in the source text and select "View collection". You may want to upgrade to 5.1.6, as there were some collection-related bugfixes since 5.1.0.
