How to use a parameter passed to stored procedure in cursor?

Question

I am rather new to Oracle stored procedures and I'm sure that
this is rather simple. Could someone tell me how to do the
following: I would like to pass the variable status into my
stored procedure and then use it in the where clause when
defining my cursor. I have the stored procedure working 100%
other than this small detail.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_report_starwood_exhibita2(hno
VARCHAR2, cid INTEGER, kperiod INTEGER, status VARCHAR2, user
VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
     CURSOR bid_cursor IS
     SELECT bm.hotelid
     FROM dbo.bidmaster bm
     WHERE bm.channelid = cid
     and bm.contractperiod = kperiod
     and bm.bidstatus like '&status'
END;
Thank you

Thank you You can do something like this
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_report_starwood_exhibita2(hno
VARCHAR2, cid INTEGER, kperiod INTEGER, status VARCHAR2, user
VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
CURSOR bid_cursor (p_status varchar2) IS
SELECT bm.hotelid
FROM dbo.bidmaster bm
WHERE bm.channelid = cid
and bm.contractperiod = kperiod
and bm.bidstatus like p_status
END;
and then in the BEGIN section do
open bid_cursor(status)
This should work.
