Hi, Monks, I have a PLSQL script which should return a cursor, see below:

$plsql = $dbh->prepare(q{DECLARE hd_cur Pacdesignset.data_header_cur; d_cur Pacdesignset.data_cur;
       BEGIN Pacdesignset.get_data(5000,1,hd_cur,:s_cur,d_cur); END;});
$plsql->bind_param_inout(":s_cur",\$sth2,0,{ora_type => ORA_RSET});
$plsql->execute;

I want to return the :s_cur, which is what the bind_param_inout() statement should do, correct? According to the perldoc for Oracle::DBD, i just do:

while (@recs->$sth2->fetchrow_array){}

[download]
to get the rows from the cursor as sth2 is a valid statement handle now. However, when i run it, i get a 'Can't call method "DBI::st=HASH(0x9e455b8)" without a package or object reference at reg_service.pl line 128.' Line 128 is the while statement. All i would like to do in this loop is print out the cursor contents.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
