Stored Procedure and Cursor

Hello...

I have created a stored procedure as follows:

PROCEDURE P_GET_CURRICULUM_BY_PARENT
(
pPARENT IN PERSON.PARENT%TYPE,
pCURSOR OUT types.ref_cursor
)

AS

BEGIN
OPEN pCURSOR FOR
SELECT ID, NAME, AS PARENT
FROM PERSON
WHERE PARENT= pPARENT;
END;

However, no matter what I do, when I attempt to compile the stored procedure... I receive the following error:

PLS-00201: identifier 'TYPES.REF_CURSOR' must be declared

This is a brand new database. I was able to create the tables just fine. This is the first stored procedure I am trying to enter into the database. The DBA swears that I have the necessary permissions.

Thanks,
Chad

Code:

/* This part has to be either in the DECLARE section or in the pacakge specification. */
DECLARE
TYPE Detail_Record_Type IS RECORD (
     v_ID     PERSON.ID%TYPE,
     v_NAME   PERSON.NAME%TYPE

);
TYPE Detail_Cursor_Type IS REF CURSOR RETURN Detail_Record_Type;

/* change your declaration to something like this : */
PROCEDURE P_GET_CURRICULUM_BY_PARENT
(
   pPARENT IN PERSON.PARENT%TYPE,
   pCURSOR OUT Detail_Cursor_Type;
)

AS

BEGIN
OPEN pCURSOR FOR
SELECT ID, NAME, AS PARENT
FROM PERSON
WHERE PARENT= pPARENT;
END;
