How to declare a cursor with stored proc?

Question

Hi All,
Can we declare a cursor with stored proc?
For Example -
CREATE PROCEDURE DDL_proc() LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
    CURSOR c_cursor1 (v_isbn VARCHAR(20)) FOR CALL SYS.GET_OBJECT_DEFINITION(<SCHEMA_NAME>, <TABLE_NAME>).;
     BEGIN
          FOR cur_row as c_cursor1 DO
          END FOR;
     END;
Could you please have a look on the same?
Thank you,
Vijeesh

Oracle PL/SQL also has a select into statement which is described in the same manual the link takes you to part of.
select column_list
into variable_list
from table(s)
where conditions
The PL/SQL Users Guide is something you are going to want to have gone over cover to cover before you start converting because so that you make the best choices for how to rewrite the code: select into, explicit cursor, implicit cursor, for loop, simple loop, while loop, collections,bulk load, etc ....
