ORA-1403 No Data Found

Question

I have some PL/SQL code that looks like this:
PROCEDURE my_proc(start_date DATE, end_date DATE)
AS
BEGIN
  FOR rec IN (SELECT DISTINCT column1
              FROM my_table
              WHERE test_date_and_time BETWEEN start_date AND end_date;)
  LOOP
  END LOOP;
END; The procedure is called in the following way:
DECLARE
  sdate     DATE;
  edate     DATE;
BEGIN
  sdate := to_date('1-jan-2003');
  edate := to_date('10-jan-2003');
  my_proc(sdate, edate);
END;I get an ORA-1403 exception (No Data Found) at the select statement in the my_proc procedure. But if I run the select statement directly with SQL, several records are found.
Does anybody know what I am missing.

Does anybody know what I am missing.Are you sure the code you posted is what you're actually running? The semicolon at the end of the query:
...            WHERE test_date_and_time BETWEEN start_date AND end_date;)is a mistake, but it wouldn't cause ORA-01403.
Also,
FOR  rec  IN (query)
LOOP
END LOOP;doesn't raise NO_DATA_FOUND. If the query doesn't return any records, then the loop is simply not executed even once.
If you'd like help, then post your actual code, or a simplified version that gets the same error, along with whatever CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements are needed to run it.
