Group By function inside a PL/sql Block

Question

Hi,
I have a select statement which looks like this -
select Region, count(region) from QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER where version != 'v112012' and source = 'http://esource.oraclecorp.com/portal/pls/portal/esrc.esr_portlet.show?id=74,34,12202' and region != 'eSource'
group by region
REGION     COUNT(REGION)
EMEA      25
NA     1
LAD     10
Japan 1
Now the above code will have different result based on the version and source provided.
I want to use a code on similar lines where the based on version and source which will come from a cursor, i want the region and count of region, but because the result will keep on changing based on the where clause i am not sure how to use the similar code as above inside a pl/sql block.
Thank you,
rakesh

Hi, I haven't tested this but how about something like this:
create or replace procedure testproc(p_version VARCHAR2, p_source VARCHAR2)
as
v_version varchar2(100);
v_source varchar2(1000);
cursor c1 is
select Region, count(region) as cnt
from QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER
where version != v_version
and source = v_source
and region != 'eSource'
group by region;
begin
v_version := p_version;
v_sourse := p_source;
for r1 in c1 loop
   dbms_output.put_line(r1.region||' '||r1.cnt);
end loop;
end;
