Pass REF CURSOR to Procedure and LOOP through it

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how I can pass a ref cursor to a procedure and then loop through it. I have provided an example of what I am attempting to do...just not really sure how to open the ref cursor when it is passed ot the sproc and iterate through it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
