    Problem with a parameter in a cursor

    I have a problem with a cursor.
    I use a like clause with a parameter in my cursor and the cursor doesn't works, no records are retrieved. It is something like this:

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE My_Proc(p_Param IN VARCHAR2) IS

    v_String VARCHAR2(100);

    CURSOR c_Cursor IS
    SELECT Id_Cod
    FROM my_table
    WHERE NAME LIKE v_String;
    BEGIN

    v_String := '''' || p_Param || '%' || '''';

    FOR cur_Cursor IN c_Cursor LOOP;

    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('id_cod = ' || cur_Cursor.Id_Cod);

    END LOOP;



    END My_Proc;

    The dbms_output show me nothing.
    If somebody knows how to do this, please, help me.
    Thanks.

    Change your v_string = line to
    Code:
    v_String := p_Param || '%';
    If you use quotes in the actual column content then just remove the last set of quotes on the v_string definition.

    At the moment you searching for something like 'A_Word%' what you should be searching for is A_Word%
