Sybase @@rowcount not converted properly

Question

I have converted multiple Sybase procedures with OMWB 1.2.2.0 where the @@rowcount does not work properly. Take the following Sybase procedure for example:
CREATE PROCEDURE el_REP_GetAllAccts
@GroupCode int
,@PeriodBegin datetime
,@PeriodEnd datetime
AS
DECLARE @UserLogon char(30),
@ErrorNum int,
@ErrorSource char(50),
@Description varchar(255),
@Description1 varchar(255)
,@AccountList int
,@Role char(1)
,@Group int
,@RowCnt int
SELECT ag.account_id
,ag.role_code
,ac.name
FROM account_group ag
,account ac
WHERE @PeriodBegin >= ag.in_start
AND @PeriodEnd <= ag.in_end
AND ag.account_id = ac.account_id
AND ag.group_id = @GroupCode
ORDER BY ac.name
select @RowCnt = @@rowcount
RETURN @RowCnt
This was converted to a function, with a package for the REF CURSOR result set:
-- BEGIN PL/SQL BLOCK --------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE EL_OWNER.EL_REP_GETALLACCTSPkg AS
TYPE RT1 IS RECORD (
account_id account_group.account_id%TYPE,
role_code account_group.role_code%TYPE,
name account.name%TYPE
TYPE RCT1 IS REF CURSOR RETURN RT1;
END;
-- END PL/SQL BLOCK ----------------------------------
-- BEGIN PL/SQL BLOCK --------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION EL_OWNER.EL_REP_GETALLACCTS (
GroupCode NUMBER ,
PeriodBegin DATE ,
PeriodEnd DATE ,
RC1 IN OUT EL_REP_GETALLACCTSPkg.RCT1)
RETURN INTEGER
AS
StoO_selcnt INTEGER;
StoO_error INTEGER;
StoO_rowcnt INTEGER;
StoO_crowcnt INTEGER := 0;
StoO_fetchstatus INTEGER := 0;
StoO_errmsg VARCHAR2(255);
StoO_sqlstatus INTEGER;
UserLogon CHAR(30);
ErrorNum NUMBER(10,0);
ErrorSource CHAR(50);
Description VARCHAR2(255);
Description1 VARCHAR2(255);
AccountList NUMBER(10,0);
Role CHAR(1);
Group_ NUMBER(10,0);
RowCnt NUMBER(10,0);
BEGIN
BEGIN
StoO_error := 0;
StoO_rowcnt := 0;
OPEN RC1 FOR
SELECT ag.account_id, ag.role_code, ac.name
FROM account_group ag, account ac
WHERE el_REP_GetAllAccts.PeriodBegin >= ag.in_start
AND el_REP_GetAllAccts.PeriodEnd <= ag.in_end
AND ag.account_id = ac.account_id
AND ag.group_id = el_REP_GetAllAccts.GroupCode
ORDER BY ac.name ;
SELECT 1 INTO StoO_rowcnt FROM DUAL
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT ag.account_id, ag.role_code, ac.name
FROM account_group ag, account ac
WHERE el_REP_GetAllAccts.PeriodBegin >= ag.in_start
AND el_REP_GetAllAccts.PeriodEnd <= ag.in_end
AND ag.account_id = ac.account_id
AND ag.group_id = el_REP_GetAllAccts.GroupCode );
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
StoO_rowcnt := 0;
StoO_selcnt := 0;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
StoO_rowcnt := 0;
StoO_selcnt := 0;
StoO_error := SQLCODE;
StoO_errmsg := SQLERRM;
END;
el_REP_GetAllAccts.Rowcnt := StoO_rowcnt;
RETURN el_REP_GetAllAccts.Rowcnt;
END el_REP_GetAllAccts;
-- END PL/SQL BLOCK ----------------------------------
The above @@rowcount conversion will not work. StoO_rowcount will always only contain 1, if any rows were selected. RC1%ROWCOUNT also will not work, because now rows have been fetched from the REF CURSOR.
Does anyone know of any other conversion possibilities that would be more efficient than repeating the same query except performing a count(*) to find out a rowcount?
Thanks,
