Return a record set from a procedure

Question

I am building an application for my company.
Before oracle I had used MS SQL Server for a long time.
I build a procedure as following
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE YBP.ReturnSet
-- Return a record set from a procedure
IS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM fdbase;
END;
But the complier show me a error message:
<font color="#0000FF">PLS-00428     an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement</font>
I read the error details
<font color="#0000FF">"In PL/SQL, only a subquery is written without an INTO clause."</font>
But I know that this procedure can run well in <font color="#0000FF">MS SQL Server .</font>
How I can do this thing in Oracle
Any help will be appreciate!

Answer 1

I have a stored proc that is defined as
CREATE or REPLACE
PROCEDURE ABC
(linkid IN CHAR,
Year_in IN DATE,
Method_in IN CHAR,
Date_out OUT DATE,
average_out OUT NUMBER)
is
begin
.. Date_out := ...;
average_out := ...;
end;
another partially completed stored proc that returns a ref
cursor defined as follows:
create or replace package zzz
as
type cursorType is ref cursor;
end;
create or replace function test return zzz.cursortype
as
date_OUT date;
Average_OUT number;
l_cursor zzz.cursorType;
CURSOR temp_cur is
SELECT l.linkid, L.routenumber, ABC(l.linkid,
to_date('01/01/2000', 'mm/dd/yyyy'),
'2',
date_OUT,
average_OUT)
FROM LINK l
WHERE l.LINKID <= '010999';
begin
open temp_cur;
end;
inside test (which I need help completing), how can I refer to
the date_out and the average_out params returned by ABC() so
that these values are in turn passed to the cursortype defined
in package zzz?
Thanks in advance.
