PL/SQL table in a package accessed from outside package

Hi all,

Here is what I have
---Created a package spec with a declaration of PL/SQL table

create or replace PACKAGE XXAZZ_NLI_PK AS

  type g_load_status_type is table of varchar2(1)
                  index by varchar2(255);
  g_load_status_tab g_load_status_type;


--- then load in APEX process:

declare
    ls_errmsg varchar2(100);
begin
  ls_errmsg := 'Set default to "O" Open';
  for j in (select PROCESSING_STEP descr, 'O' status
             from XXAZZ_CUS.XXAZZ_PROCESSING_SEQ ) loop
      XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab(j.descr) := j.status;
  end loop;

  ls_errmsg := 'If exists set actual';
  for i in (select descr, status
             from xxazz_cus.xxazz_load_statuses
            where proj_id = :P6_PROJ_ID) loop
    XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab(i.descr) := i.status;
  end loop;
exception
  when others then
    raise_application_error(-20127, 'ERROR in Set Load Status Process - '||ls_errmsg||' - '||SQLERRM);
end;


SAVE Validation Condition:
PL/SQL Expression
      XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab('CREATE_ORDER_HEADER') IN ('O','E')


When I save I get this
Error processing condition.
ORA-01403: no data found

I tested the load and have values ..

begin
  for j in (select PROCESSING_STEP descr, 'O' status
             from XXAZZ_CUS.XXAZZ_PROCESSING_SEQ ) loop
    XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab(j.descr) := j.status;   --- one of the descr is 'CREATE_ORDER_HEADER'
htp.p(j.descr||' - '|| j.status);
  end loop;
  for i in (select descr, status
             from xxazz_cus.xxazz_load_statuses --- if any exists, one of the descr is 'CREATE_ORDER_HEADER'
            where proj_id = 136) loop
    XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab(i.descr) := i.status;  
htp.p(i.descr||' - '|| i.status);
  end loop;

htp.p('Result -- '||XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab('CREATE_ORDER_HEADER'));

end;

1---CREATE_ORDER_HEADER - O
1---CREATE_ASSIGN_ITEMS - O
1---CREATE_PROJECT - O
1---CREATE_ORDER_LINES - O
1---CREATE_ITEM_ROUTINGS - O
1---CREATE_WIP_JOBS - O
1---CREATE_DRAFT_BUDGET - O
1---BASELINE_BUDGET - O
2---CREATE_ORDER_HEADER - S
2---CREATE_ASSIGN_ITEMS - S
2---CREATE_PROJECT - S
2---CREATE_ORDER_LINES - E
2---CREATE_ITEM_ROUTINGS - P
2---CREATE_WIP_JOBS - P
2---CREATE_DRAFT_BUDGET - P
2---BASELINE_BUDGET - P
Result -- S


Also tried
begin
  if(nvl(XXAZZ_NLI_PK.g_load_status_tab('CREATE_ORDER_HEADER'),'P')='S') then
    return true;
 else
    return false;
 end if;
end;

Same error
