Ref Cursor - How to append records into ref cursor?

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to append ref cursor?
Iam having a procedure which accepts 1 string as input
parameter. That string will have list of ID delimited by comma.
I want to extract & match every ID with some tables.
My problem is for first ID i would get 10 records
and for 2nd ID i 'l get other 20 records. But while returning
i need to send the same(10 + 20 records) as ref cursor(OUT parameter).
But in below given code i could send only last 20 records. first
10 records are not append/updated into ref cursor.
How to append 2nd 20 records with 1st 10 records? so that i can
send all the 30 records.
Here goes my code...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getCRMGroupsAndRollups_PRC
in_groupId IN VARCHAR2,
out_getCRMGroups OUT TYPES.DATASET
IS
v_temp VARCHAR2(500) := in_groupId ||',';
v_temp_split VARCHAR2(500);
v_pos1 NUMBER := 0;
v_pos2 NUMBER := 1;
v_pos3 NUMBER := 0;
v_extract_char VARCHAR(1) := NULL;
v_comma_cnt NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
-- check in for null input parameters
IF ( in_groupId IS NOT NULL ) THEN
-- loop to count no of in_groupId
FOR j IN 1..LENGTH(v_temp)
LOOP
     v_extract_char := SUBSTR(v_temp,j,1);
     IF (v_extract_char = ',') THEN
          v_comma_cnt := v_comma_cnt + 1;
     END IF;     
END LOOP;
-- loop to extract in_group Id
FOR i IN 1..v_comma_cnt
LOOP
     v_pos1 := instr(v_temp,',',(v_pos1 + 1));
     v_pos3 := ((v_pos1-1) - v_pos2 )+ 1;
     v_temp_split := SUBSTR(v_temp,v_pos2,v_pos3);
     v_pos2 := v_pos1 + 1;
-- query to return dataset filled BY list of all the current
-- CRM groups and the associated rollup groups
OPEN out_getCRMGroups FOR
SELECT
DISTINCT
gcs.crm_st_id_cd,
gcs.lgcy_roll_up_grp_num,
gcs.lgcy_roll_up_grp_name,
gcs.grp_xwalk_complt_dt,
gcs.crm_grp_num,
gcs.facets_gnat_id,
gcs.crm_grp_name
FROM
grp_convsn_stat gcs
--lgcy_xref_elem lxe
WHERE
( gcs.mbrshp_convsn_aprvl_dt = NULL )
OR ( gcs.mbrshp_convsn_aprvl_dt < (SYSDATE - 7 ) )
AND ( gcs.facets_grp_stat_actv_ind = 'Y' )
AND ( gcs.lgcy_roll_up_grp_num = v_temp_split );
END LOOP;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('INTERNAL ERROR');
END getCRMGroupsAndRollups_PRC;
in this v_temp_split will have extracted id & iam opening
ref cursor for each & every ID extracted from list.
2) How to handle no_data_found exception for this ref cursor?
Please help me....
