Call stored proc from inside sp

Question

I am trying to call a stored proc from inside a stored proc and the stored proc needs to return a ref_cursor. I am trying to loop over the returned ref_cursor, but my problem is that when I compile the sp it says the ref_cursor is not a procedure or is undefined. Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error? Refer to the code below!
create or replace
PROCEDURE TCS_GetPartReferenceData
contracts IN VARCHAR2
, showInWork IN INTEGER
, userClock IN VARCHAR2
, intMaxResults IN INTEGER
, ret_cursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
) AS
p_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
TCS_GETDRNSFORCONTRACTS(contracts
, showinwork
, userClock
, intmaxresults
, p_cursor);
for r in p_cursor loop
dbms_output.put_line(r.puid);
end loop;
END TCS_GetPartReferenceData;

Probably you want sth. like
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tcs_getpartreferencedata (contracts       IN     VARCHAR2,
                                    showinwork      IN     INTEGER,
                                    userclock       IN     VARCHAR2,
                                    intmaxresults   IN     INTEGER,
                                    ret_cursor         OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
   tcs_getdrnsforcontracts (contracts,
                            showinwork,
                            userclock,
                            intmaxresults,
                            ret_cursor);
END tcs_getpartreferencedata;
var cur refcursor
exec tcs_getpartreferencedata(contracts_value,showinwork_value,userclock_value,intmaxresults_value, :cur)
print curfill in appropriate values for the parameters _value ....
