Hi
You can pass a CURSOR to the Function/Procedure as following,
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE <Package Name> AS
TYPE cursor_type IS REF CURSOR;-- Declare a Reference Cursor here in pkg.
PROCEDURE <procedure Name>(
var1 IN VARCHAR2,
cur_OUT IN OUT cursor_type);-- Pass it as IN OUT Parameter
FUNCTION <Function Name>(
<parameters>,
cur_OUT IN OUT cursor_type) RETURN <type>;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY <Package Name> AS
PROCEDURE <procedure Name>(
var1 IN VARCHAR2,
cur_OUT IN OUT cursor_type) AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur_OUT FOR
<your statements are here>;
END;
FUNCTION <Function Name>(
<parameters>,
cur_OUT IN OUT cursor_type) RETURN <type> AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur_OUT FOR
<your statements are here>;
RETURN <variable>;
END;
END;
Pass a REFERENCE CURSOR through Package you can use this in either in Function or Procedure.
I Think this will be HELP For your requirement,
If not let me Know then i will try again,
Any one Let me Know if am wrong.
Take Care,
Bye
