Calling a procedure (with refcursor) from another procedure

Question

I have a procedure that returns refcursor (it's used by a Java application).
I am able to run the proc via SQLPlus like below:
var a refcursor;
exec MY_PKG.get_content_prc(:a);
print a;
I would like to use/call this proc from another procedure and I am not able to, since arg is refcursor.
create or replace procedure p
is
v refcursor;
begin
MY_PKG.get_content_prc(:v);
end;
Error I get is:
SQL> show err
Errors for PROCEDURE P2:
LINE/COL ERROR
4/3 PL/SQL: Item ignored
4/7 PLS-00201: identifier 'CURSOR' must be declared
6/5 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
6/57 PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is
incomplete or malformed
Hope someone can direct me.
Regards

Answer 1

Because you are not using the right syntax.
You need to do something like this
LOOP
   /* Fetch from cursor variable. */
   FETCH emp_cv INTO emp_rec;
   EXIT WHEN emp_cv%NOTFOUND; -- exit when last row is fetched
   -- process data record
END LOOP;This is from the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
I would recommend reading this fine manual, it is faster than guessing.
