We can't use print since this code is in xml and used by UI and somehow
refcursor is not working if I try to declare a variable of type
refcursor:
PLS-00201: identifier 'REFCURSOR' must be declared

This should work:

VARIABLE rs REFCURSOR;
Begin
open :rs for 
        select a from table inner join b.....; 
End;
/

print rs;

Hi,

We are using SYS_REFCURSOR in our procedures as out put parameter to
return the result of a query, is there any equivalent I can use in
pl/sql block without a procedure. Here is what we are trying to do:
Begin
Insert into table....;
Select a from table inner join b.....;
End;

Since Oracle don't allow select without into clause in pl/sql, I added a
variable of syscursor but now I am not getting error but not getting the
result set also:
Declare
A sys_refcursor;
Begin
Insert into table....;
Open a for Select a from table inner join b.....; End;

Is there any option that we can use without converting this to
procedure?

Thanks
