Thanks in advance for your help..
Using Oracle PL/SQL for 8i:
If I have a reference cursor variable (c) that is based on a certain Record Type. I can create a record variable that is the same record type and then FETCH data from the cursor into the Record Type variable. No problem.
However, what I need to know is whether there is a way to go the other way and put the values that are in a record variable into a cursor variable.
I tried things like:
OPEN c FOR
SELECT
vRecTemp
FROM Dual; where vRecTemp is the record variable that I am trying to get into the cursor.
But this causes an error of invalid datatype.
Any ideas on how I can get this data into the cursor?
Thanks

selecting record variable is not allowed.but you can open cursor for individual elements in record..
look at this example:
declare
type r is record ( x number,y varchar2(20));
type c1 is ref cursor;
r1 r;
r2 r;
c c1;
n number:=0;
begin
r1.x :=0;
r1.y :='Oracle';
open c for select r1.x,r1.y from dual;
loop
fetch c into r2;
exit when c%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(r2.x||' '||r2.y);
end loop;
close c;
end;
