I have a sql script used to test a procedure which returns a ref cursor. The
parameters to the procedure are passed as substitution variables (with : in
front). In TOAD v9.7.2.5, when I run the script I get a dialog that shows each
parameter (including the cursor variable) and the option to choose the type for
the variables. In the list I have “Cursor” as an available entry. When I choose
that and run the script, the procedure runs and I get a grid output showing the
contents of the cursor. In TOAD v10.0.0.41 (have not applied patch due to
problems with tabbed browsing) there is no Cursor option for the type and any
attempt to run the script gives the error “wrong number or types of arguments
…”. In fact, there is quite a lot of types that are no longer available. Was
this something that was removed and no longer available? Running the procedure
from the schema browser and choosing to output the cursor results does work
fine. The problem is when running from a saved sql script that performs some
needed tasks prior to running the procedure.
Thanks,
David

I applied the latest patch and tried this again with no luck. Using TOAD
v10.1.1.8, is there a way to run a SQL script and have the output of a cursor
displayed in a grid without having to use the Execute option in the Schema
Browser?
Here is a simple example of what I am trying to do that works in TOAD 9.7.2.5:
DECLARE
TYPE cur_Protocol IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE Test_Proc (r_cur OUT cur_protocol) AS
BEGIN
OPEN r_cur FOR
SELECT dummy from dual;
END;
BEGIN
Test_Proc(:cur);
END;
When the dialog appears, I could just choose Cursor for the variable type and
all was well.
It is run using F9. Do you have the prompt for substitution variables option
checked? I don’t believe this will work in SQL*Plus since it uses the : style
substitution variable since I’m asking to show the contents of the cursor.
