Hi Srinivas,
at sql prompt u type like the following
-----------------------------------------------
sql> var rct refcursor;
sql> exec :rct := open_join_cursor1 (io_cursor);
now it gives the message that procedure executed.
To see the results type the following
sql> PRINT rct;

Your procedure can just be:

Procedure open_join_cursor1 (io_cursor OUT t_cursor)
IS
BEGIN
OPEN io_cursor FOR Select * from emp;
END open_join_cursor1;

1) The parameter can just be OUT, not IN/OUT.
2) No need for the v_cursor variable.

To call from SQL*Plus:

var rc refcursor;
exec curspkg_join.open_join_cursor1(:rc);
print rc;
