Hey bright guys !! you sould know this

CURSOR report_cursor(v_namesearch VARCHAR2) IS
SELECT name, address
FROM emp AND name LIKE 'v_namesearch%';

There seems to be something wrong with the way I have defined the above cursor. Looks like, since v_namesearch is
a variable (& not a constant) , the singe quotes seems to be messing up with what I am trying to accomplish.

Shall appreciate any help.. as I seem to be stuck with this

Thank you & Merry X'mas
