Hi experts,
need your help in a ref cursor. The existing code is a big one and not explanatory to you all . So I am giving one sample code which can fix my problem .

There is a table

CREATE TABLE  "EMP_TAB" 
   (	"EMP_NM" VARCHAR2(20), 
	"EMPID" NUMBER(3,0), 
	"MNG_NM" VARCHAR2(20), 
	"MNGID" NUMBER(3,0)
   );

There is procedure
create or replace procedure test1 is
type cur_type is ref cursor;
c cur_type;
v varchar2(400);
emp_name varchar2(400);
begin
 v :='select emp_nm from emp_tab';
  open c for v;
 loop
   FETCH c INTO emp_name;
        EXIT WHEN c%NOTFOUND;
   dbms_output.put_line(emp_name) ;
 end loop;
 close c;
end;
/
show errors


My requiremnt is the variable v should be
v :='select * from emp_tab';


insted of of fetch can we write c.EMP_NM

like the following way
create or replace procedure test1 is
type cur_type is ref cursor;
c cur_type;
v varchar2(400);
emp_name varchar2(400);
begin

 v :='select emp_nm from emp_tab';
 
 open c for v;
 loop
   
  dbms_output.put_line(c.emp_nm) ;
 end loop;
 close c;

end;
/
show errors

Without fetching c.EMP_NM is meaningless.

This can't be a requirement.

Don't be so lazy.

Kyte recently published a new Reason #13134213 Not to Use SELECT *

This is an ideal solution when you desire to enter bugs into an application long after it has been released.

When you attempt this folly, at some point in the future a new column will be added & your code will break.
