JDBC Query using PL/SQL

Question

I have gotten this to work in my Reports class but can not get this to work at my company. Basically I'm trying to use the JDBC query in Report Builder.
Here is my Ref Cursor Code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SCOTT.types is
type sqlcur is REF cursor;
end;
Here is my Pl/SQL function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION SCOTT.test return Scott.types.sqlcur is
c1 Scott.types.sqlcur;
begin
open c1 for select * from scott.emp;
return c1;
end;
I can get this to work in SQL Plus by doing the following:
var r refcursor
exec :r := test;
print r When I go into Reports Builder->JDBC query I connect to the SCOTT db using tiger as the password. I type in the function name TEST and get the error "wrong number or types of arguments in call TEST". I have tried "call TEST" but that doesnt work either. If I use "call TEST" I get an error saying it expected characters ":=(@" etc....
I know my connection works because I can do a "select * from emp" and get results. Can anyone get this to work?
I'm running Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3
I have done multiple searches on this issue and most responses point someone to links that dont work or documentation. I have read them and my code above should work but doesnt........Please put some real examples or code that works with the "Scott" schema.
Thanks

hi Shawn
When running jdbc quesry based on SP with Oracle DB, the first parameter of the store procedure should be of ref cursor type and it shall be a OUT parameter.
For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE jdbcpdspkg AS
TYPE Empcur IS ref cursor ;
procedure proc_with_param      (p_emp_cv out jdbcpdspkg .empcur, p1 in number, p2 in number , p3 in number, p4 in number , p5 in number) ;
