How to Open a cursor for a dynamic page

Question

Hi,
I'm new to portal (we are evaluating the product to give our existing application <which is based heavily on stored procedures> a face-lift) and I am having trouble calling a procedure wich returns a cursor and then looping through that cursor in order to create an HTML report.
The db providor seems to compile but when I try to preview the page I get the following error:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor (WWV-11230)
The preference path does not exist: ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS.1125786214 (WWC-51000)
Here is the pl/sql code from between the ORACLE tags:
<ORACLE>
declare
type datacur is ref cursor;
dcur datacur;
v_CUSTOMER_ID number;
v_NAME          varchar2(50);
v_STORE_NAME     varchar2(50);
v_STATUS          varchar2(50);
v_CREATED     date;
begin
FIND_CUSTOMER (
dcur,
'010109_terminated_dhogan',
'Evoke',
71000107 );
loop
fetch dcur into v_CUSTOMER_ID, v_NAME, v_STORE_NAME,v_STATUS, v_CREATED;
exit when dcur%notfound;
htp.print('<tr><td>'||v_NAME ||'</td></tr>');
end loop;
end;
</ORACLE>
When I run the same code (using DBMS_OUTPUT instead of "htp.print") I get output.
Any suggestions?

Maybe you should do it.
dcur datacur%rowtype;
