I tried what You described and it works fine. However I would like to do it all from within ONE procedure, ie. declare the cursor type(if the type declaration is neccessary), open it and print it.
Do i really need to declare the cursor as Package type, return it and THEN print.it.
I tried to put it all in one but failed (could be a syntax/typo thing, and yes I'm new on Oracle)

I can accomplish the same thing in an SQL-server SP by simply CREATE PROCEDURE select_something
SELECT col1, col2 FROM someting
(Don't know what's done explicitly in the background though) /Cheers
