Question : Building collection using pre-defined object TYPE

I'm looping through a file and need to assign the values found in the file to the collection.

Following is some simplified code, without all the code necessary to open the file, of what I'm trying to do.  For reasons that escape me, it's not working.  I'm still trying to get a handle on how collections work.

      lv_collection.append;
      lv_collection(i).emp_id       := lv_emp_id;
      lv_collection(i).emp_name := lv_emp_name;
   end loop;
