refcursor

Hello all,
I've got a problem I can't get round. I want to declare a refcursor variable in a  C program and call a function which returns a refcursor portal to the main C program.
When I compile the C program, I get a refcursor doesn´t exist message. Has anyone got a  C program which uses a refcursor variable?
Hope you can help.
 
Cheers

Make sure the C program opens a transaction before calling the function,
otherwise the cursor is automatically closed as soon as the function ends.
