How to select rowid with select * from table_name

Question

Hello guys i have a cursor like so.
  Cursor c1 IS SELECT * FROM FZRASST;
  -- Row of type FZRASST row
  fzrasst_row c1%ROWTYPE;when i try to reference the row id like this
fzrasst_row.rowid;i get an error invalid indentifier? how can i reference the row id without implicitely selecting rowid? is this possible or do i need to change my select statement to select every column on the table?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want fzrasst_row to include pseudo-columns (such as ROWID) or anything else, then you have to include them in the SELECT clause.
To avoid naming every single column in hte table, you can do something like this:
Cursor c1 IS
    SELECT  FZRASST.*
    ,       ROWID   AS r_id
    FROM    FZRASST;(assuming the table doesn't already have a column called r_id).
