Well in that case you've said the output is an integer, and you're
returning a refcursor, hence the error. In the second case you don't
have any out parameters, so it understands you're trying to return the
refcursor.

I suppose you could declare the refcursor as an OUT parameter, or
return the integer in the first case,

Have a nice day,
