Collections concept

Question

Hi
I am writing a procedure where it takes collection as IN parameter and gets ref_cursor as OUT parameter i am able to write it without procedure in pl/sql block
but not able to write in procedure.
-created collection t_deptno_c and ref cursor is kept in package
DECLARE
v_dept t_deptno_c;
v_ref dept_pack.ref_cursor1;
BEGIN
SELECT deptno BULK COLLECT INTO v_dept FROM dept;
open
v_ref for select * from emp where deptno in (select to_number(column_value) from table(cast(v_dept as t_deptno_c)));
END;
the above works but not able to convert it into procedure
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Anything wrong with this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_emp_list(p_dept_c IN t_deptno_c,
p_ref OUT dept_pack.ref_cursor1)
IS
v_dept_c t_deptno_c;
BEGIN
SELECT deptno BULK COLLECT INTO v_dept_c FROM dept;
OPEN p_ref FOR SELECT * FROM emp WHERE deptno IN (SELECT to_number(column_value) FROM TABLE(CAST(p_dept_c AS t_deptno_c)));
END;
