<educated guess> you cannot pass a cursor from the programmatic environment into the pl/sql environment. i believe that cursors created in pl/sql can be passed around to other pl/sql packages/functions. i doubt that the internal pl/sql structures pointed-to by the cursor are accessible from OCI, since, after all, the stored procedure is executing p-code on the host. not same stacks and heaps at all. <end of educated guess>
