Answer 1

stored procedure is nothing but a named PL/SQL block
so you can do it like this see below example
SQL> create or replace procedure emp_details is
  2  cursor c1 is SELECT a.empno, b.deptno
  3  FROM scott.emp a, scott.dept b
  4  WHERE a.deptno=b.deptno;
  5  begin for c2 in c1
  6  LOOP
  7  dbms_output.put_line('name is '||c2.empno);
  8  dbms_output.put_line('deptno is ' ||c2.deptno);
  9  END LOOP;
10  END;
11  /
Procedure created.and to call it use like below
SQL> begin
  2  emp_details;
  3  end;
  4  /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> /
