Using cursor on table of records

Question

I'm trying to use cursors on a passed in table of records and I
get a compilation error on the cursor definition that states
that the table must be defined (but I'm passing the table in).
Here are the types:
create type input_record_t as object (
field1 varchar2(10),
field2 varchar2(20));
create type input_table_t is table of input_record_t;
procedure process_data (
input_data in input_table_t) is
cursor data_cursor is select * from input_data; /* error */
begin
/* processin here */
end;
I've also tried:
cursor data_cursor (data_table in input_table_t) is select
* from data_table; /* also error */
How do I define a cursor on a passed in table of records? Any
help would be appreciated.

are you trying to assign records to a plsql table type?
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE packperson
AS
TYPE tfname is TABLE of VARCHAR2(15)
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
     PROCEDURE oneperson
     (onessn IN      integer,
     fname      OUT           tfname);
END packperson;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY packperson
AS
PROCEDURE oneperson
          ( onessn IN      integer,
     fname      OUT           tfname)
IS
CURSOR person_cur
IS
SELECT ssn, fname, lname
FROM person
where ssn = onessn;
percount NUMBER DEFAULT 1;
BEGIN
FOR singleperson IN person_cur
LOOP
fname(percount) := singleperson.fname;
percount := percount + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
END;
