newbie question

Hi all,

I am trying to define a cursor variable in a package using the following code:

create or replace package csrtyp as

TYPE DlrCurTyp IS ref CURSOR RETURN cls.cf_dlr%ROWTYPE;

end;

I am getting the following error:
PLS-00103 - Encountered the symbol REF when expecting one of the follong: ....

I am on PL/SQL version 2.1.6.2.0 of oracle 7. Does this version not support cursor variables or am I doing something wrong?

Please help!
TIA.
