I've also tried it this way:

create or replace procedure mias (i_region_id number)
as
TYPE name_num_rc IS REF CURSOR;
cv name_num_rc;
BEGIN

OPEN cv FOR

select * from region
;
dbms_output.put_line(cv%rowcount);
dbms_output.put_line(sql%rowcount);

END;

SQL%ROWCOUNT is set at fetch time not at open one.
As you didn't fetch anything it is normal to get 0.

What you have done is compile your procedure.

To execute it from sqlplus, assuming there are no compilation errors:

exec mias(parameter);

myother wrote in his 1st post

exec mias(2);

Maybe if he'd formatted his post it would have been easier to spot. As usual, Michel has hit the nail on the head.

Is there anyway to know if rows are returned by the cursor without a loop? Are there rows returned by executing the stored procedure without a loop?

Yes, do a fetch, as has already been mentioned. What EXACTLY is it that you are trying to do?

I think pablolee means something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE mias ( i_region_id in regions.region_id%TYPE )
IS
  TYPE t_region IS TABLE OF regions%ROWTYPE;
  v_t_region t_region;
  v_rcnt     PLS_INTEGER;
  v_sql      VARCHAR2(100);
  v_refcur   INTEGER;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select * from regions where region_id > :a ' 
  BULK COLLECT INTO v_t_region
  USING i_region_id;

  -- use the pl/sql count instead of the sql rowcount:
  dbms_output.put_line(v_t_region.COUNT);
  dbms_output.put_line(i_region_id);
  
END;
/
sho err
Dynamic SQL means that you pass a SQL string to the SQL engine and let the SQL engine return the result set. The SQL%ROWCOUNT you're printing is the one from the PL/SQL side. It has no idea what string you passed to the SQL engine via NDS.

My advice? Avoid dynamic SQL if you can.

I want the stored procedure to return the result set to a java program.
