Invalid cursor in Oracle 9i (but works on 11g)

Question

Hi,
I have the function:
function get_capat_transa(p1 sys_refcursor, p2 number) return varchar2 is
  cod varchar2(40);
begin
  for i in 1..p2 loop
    fetch p1 into cod;
  end loop;
  return cod;
end;Ok, when i call this function in 11g like:
select get_capat_transa( osapi_ni.getCapatTransa('0373',100, 23453425), 1 ) cod
from dual
The first parameter supplied is osapi_ni.getCapatTransa('0373',100, 23453425), another function within a package, which returns a ref_cursor.
This works with no errors in Oracle 11g.
The same select written in Oracle 9i generates the error:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
I pressed Yes to view the stack error and i got that the error raises from the line 'fetch p1 into cod'.
Any workaround for this, to work in 9i also?
Thanks!

Hi, It did not helped me..
More simply (so a simplest example) - you can try in 9i:
create or replace function getCapatTransa2 return sys_Refcursor is
   tmp sys_Refcursor;
   error varchar2(1500);
begin
    open tmp for select 'x' from dual;
    return tmp;
end getCapatTransa2;then
create or replace function get_capat_transa(p1 sys_refcursor, p2 number) return varchar2 is
  cod varchar2(40);
begin
  for i in 1..p2 loop
--    if p1%isopen then
      --raise_application_error (-20667, cod);
      fetch p1 into cod;
  end loop;
  return cod;
end;and finally:
select get_capat_transa(getCapatTransa2, 1 ) cod
  from dualWhy in 9i returns invalid cursor and in 11 returns 'x' ? Seems like in 9i the cursor p1 is not open, but why? i can't explain..
