Looping through records without hardcoding column identifiers

Question

Is it possible to call a nextval type function when looping through a recordset?
I have a cursor which fetches records into a %rowtype variable. However, I was wondering is it possible to go through each record without having to call the column name, but rather incrementally moving from record to record
i.e.
cursor x is
select a,b,c from d;
record x%rowtype;
open x;
loop
fetch x into record;
htp.p(x.nextval (or its equivalent));
exit when x%notfound;
end loop;
is this possible instead of
htp.p(x.a);
htp.p(x.b);
htp.p(x.c);
Thanks

You probably want to hard-code the column names in your code.
The alternative would be to use dynamic SQL and the DBMS_SQL package. That would drastically complicate the code, however, so it's generally not a great idea.
