Hi

You can not use the GET_LINE as a parameter I think. First you should declare the FPINFILE then U can use that in the GET_LINE;

ex:
PROCEDURE TEST(line OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
FPINFILE UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
line_buf VARCHAR2(240);
BEGIN
UTL_FILE.FOPEN( file_path, file_name, open_mode);
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(FPINFILE, v_line);
line := v_line;

I think this may help you.
