All,

I have s sp, which return a refcursor. If I used in the following way, it looks fine:

SQL> var k refcursor;
SQL> exec lp_tagetversion (:k);
SQL> print k;

      4000
----------
      4000

But how to use it inside a procedure? The following block compiles fine, I'd like the value in the refcursor k to be insert into kk, but I don't how to get the value out. Also k is defined using a precompiled package, which works fine. If don't use that package, how to declare k as a ref cursor?

declare

        k GLOBALPkg.RCT1;       --> syntax see below
        kk number;
begin
        lp_tagetversion (k);

end;

---

CREATE or REPLACE PACKAGE GLOBALpkg AS
TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR;
END;

---

Thank you!

Janet
