Question : Cursor problem when running Oracle stored procedure in TOAD

Why do I get this error when running (RT Click=>Execute Procedure) a stored procedure in Toad?
Your help is much appreciated, as I toil from my humble abode.

ORA-06550: line 2, column 14:
PLS-00201: identifier 'CURSOR' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 10:
PL/SQL: Item ignored

The spec, where Cursortype is defiend, is separate from the procedure.  Do I need to define the type in the Begin code in the Toad dialog box?

CREATE OR REPLACE package Pkg_Sales As
  TYPE CURSORTYPE IS REF CURSOR;

Function A_Summary(ParmEndDate char, ParmTimePeriod char, ParmBusinessUnit char,
             ParmEntity char) return Cursortype;
...other functions defined in .sps...

...spb code:...
Function A_Summary(ParmEndDate char, ParmTimePeriod char, ParmBusinessUnit char, ParmEntity char) return Cursortype is
     Result_Set Cursortype;

Generated Toad Code:
DECLARE
   
  RetVal REF CURSOR;
  PARMENDDATE CHAR(200);
  PARMTIMEPERIOD CHAR(200);
  PARMBUSINESSUNIT CHAR(200);
  PARMENTITY CHAR(200);

BEGIN
  PARMENDDATE := '2004-02-29';
  PARMTIMEPERIOD := 'M';
  PARMBUSINESSUNIT := 'Retail IC';
  PARMENTITY := NULL;

  RetVal := EI.PKG_SALES.A_SUMMARY ( Parms...)

Answer : Cursor problem when running Oracle stored procedure in TOAD

In 9i, just use:

Retval SYS_REFCURSOR;

SYS_REFCURSOR is a pre-declared REF CURSOR type.
