A cursor declaration belongs after BEGIN at the beginning of a block. For examples www.psoug.org, click on Morgan's Library, click on CURSORs.

Stop using temporary tables ... period. They are a lousy substitute on other SQL implementations required by their transaction model. In Oracle there is no excuse for creating them ... EVER!

If you don't know how to send something back ... then ask.

But before you ask look in Morgan's Library for REF CURSOR.
