Help! Does anyone know if it is possible to tell from a Open Cursor if any rows will be returned. I'm working on ASP App that calls a package with cursor ref that does a select on a few tables. I need to know before I return the cursor ref to ASP if any rows will be returned. If no data is found I need to know. Below is an example of what my code is doing. The exception never gets raised rather rows are returned or not.

Package PKG_A
IS
TYPE cusor_ref IS REF CURSOR;
Procedure sp_get_info (v_cur_out OUT cusor_ref, vin_dept_id in varchar2);
End PKG_A;
/

PACKAGE Body PKG_A
IS
Procedure sp_get_info (v_cur_out OUT cusor_ref, vin_dept_id in varchar2)
IS
Begin
OPEN v_cur_out FOR
SELECT * FROM EMP, DEPT
WHERE (EMP.DEPT = DEPT.DEPT) and DEPT.DEPT = vin_dept_id;

EXCEPTION
WHEN DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
p_errorcode := 9999;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
p_errorcode := SQLCODE;
END sp_get_info;

END;

Thanks for the suggestion. I assume that capturing exceptions of a cursor ref is not possible?
