Can I pass a cursor in a procedure?

I am assuming you are using Oracle (it would appear so).

You can do this:

PROCEDURE abc( p_cursor IN SYS_REFCURSOR) IS   v_sol_id blt.sol_id%TYPE;   v_bill_id blt.bill_id%TYPE;   v_bank_id blt.bank_id%TYPE;BEGIN   LOOP      FETCH p_cursor INTO v_sol_id, v_bill_id, v_bank_id;      EXIT WHEN p_cursor%NOTFOUND;      ...   END LOOP;END;

Then use it:

DECLARE   v_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;BEGIN   OPEN v_cursor FOR      SELECT  BLT.sol_id,              BLT.bill_id,              BLT.bank_id      FROM BLT;   abc (v_cursor);   CLOSE v_cursor;END;

However, note that the procedure abc needs to know the structure of the cursor, i.e. that it returns 3 columns of particular types. If you wanted to be able to pass any cursor to the procedure then you'd need to look at using the DBMS_SQL package (and that's not trivial!)

From MSDN (SQL Server 2008): The cursor data type can be used only on OUTPUT parameters. When you specify a cursor data type, the VARYING and OUTPUT keywords must also be specified. You can have multiple output parameters specified with the cursor data type.

Regarding MS-SQL you cannot pass the cursor as the input parametre. You can pass the cursor as the output parametre only.
What you can do is to pass the cursor select clause text as an input parametre. You might find the working piece of code below useful.
