Cursor in a Package

Question

Hi
I declared a cursor in a package
create
PACKAGE DATA
AS
CURSOR C1_DATA IS SELECT * FROM EMP;
c_data C1_DATA%ROWTYPE;
procedure city;
procedure state;
procedure zip;
END;
I have all the records from emp(empid,empname,empcity,empstate,empzip) in the cursor. I need to write the package spec as
create
PACKAGE body DATA
as
procedure city..
procedure state..
procedure zip...
END;
I would like to write 3 different procedures for city,sate and zip update.So I need to fetch one record from cursor and then run 3 procedures for updating the same record.How can I achieve this
fetch a record from cursor and then run all the procedures and fetch the next record and run all the procedurs on the same rec

fecth a record from the cursor to c_data
procedure city
begin update empcitytable set empcity = c_data.empcity where empid = c_data.empid;
procedure state
begin update empstatetable set empstate = c_data.empstate where empid = c_data.empid;
procedure zip
begin update empziptable set empzip = c_data.empzip where empid = c_data.empid;
END;
I would fetch a record from emp and update the same data in different tables.

merge into empcitytable c
using emp e
   on (e.empid = c.empid)
when matched then
        update set c.empcity = e.empcity;
merge into empstatetable c
using emp e
   on (e.empid = c.empid)
when matched then
        update set c.empstate= e.empstate;
merge into empziptable c
using emp e
   on (e.empid = c.empid)
when matched then
        update set c.empzip = e.empzip;
