Hi,
There should not be a ';' (semi colon ) after the declaration of procedure in package body
SQL> create or replace package body curpack as
      procedure CHECKDYNREF (io_cur out T_CUR);
      is
       begin
         open io_cur for 'SELECT * FROM EMP';
      end;
    end curpack;
    / Something like above
Regards
