PL/SQL cursors and index tables

I'm trying to write a script that stores values in an index table using a cursor. My syntax looks write but i'm getting the following message:

Please enter the number of rows to be selected: 5
last_name_tbl last_name_tbl_type;
*
ERROR at line 9:
ORA-06550: line 43, column 27:
PL/SQL: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
ORA-06550: line 43, column 4:
