How to pass values in select statement as a parameter?

Question

Hi,
Very simple query, how do I pass the values that i get in the cursor to a select statement. If table1 values are 1,2,3,4 etc , each time the cursor goes through , I will get one value in the variable - Offer
So I want to pass that value to the select statement.. how do i do it?
the one below does not work.
drop table L1;
create table L1
(col1 varchar(300) null) ;
insert into L1 (col1)
select filter_name from table1 ;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
offer table1.col1%TYPE;
factor INTEGER := 0;
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT col1 FROM table1;
BEGIN
OPEN c1; -- PL/SQL evaluates factor
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO offer;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(offer);
select * from table1 f where f.filter_name =:offer ;
factor := factor + 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(factor);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;

Hi User,
You are looking somethuing like this, as passing the values to the Cursor as a Paramter.
DECLARE
   CURSOR CURR (V_DEPT IN NUMBER)    --- Cursor Declaration which accepts the deptno as parameter.
   IS
      SELECT *
        FROM EMP
       WHERE DEPTNO = V_DEPT;    --- The, Input V_DEPT is passed here.
   L_EMP   EMP%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
   OPEN CURR (30);       -- Opening the Cursor to Process the Value for Department Number 30 and Processing it with a Loop below.
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Employee Details for Deptno:30');
   LOOP
      FETCH CURR INTO L_EMP;
      EXIT WHEN CURR%NOTFOUND;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT ('EMPNO: ' || L_EMP.EMPNO || ' is ');
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (L_EMP.ENAME);
   END LOOP;
   CLOSE CURR;
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Employee Details for Deptno:20'); -- Opening the Cursor to Process the Value for Department Number 20
   OPEN CURR (20);
   LOOP
      FETCH CURR INTO L_EMP;
      EXIT WHEN CURR%NOTFOUND;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT ('EMPNO: ' || L_EMP.EMPNO || ' is ');
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (L_EMP.ENAME);
   END LOOP;
   CLOSE CURR;
END;Thanks,
