Well actually I have no idea where to declare that type...
I've got two files. One with that procedure and one with the main 
procedure. In the main procedure I call that other one.
The declaration can't be in the main procedure because it wont be known 
in the procedure (thats what the compiler sais) and it can't be declared 
  in the seperate procedure-file, because there is no way to declare sth 
before the procedure starts.
I already tried to declare both proedures in one file but then it sais 
sth like "end of file expected" after the "end;" of the first of these 
two procedures...
So where now can I declare that type?!

PS The array i want to pass has a variable size, so there is no way to 
use a contraint one (if that is important).
