Error printing REFCURSOR variable as OUT parameter in procedure in Oracle 11g

Question

I am using Oracle (Oracle 11.1.0.7.0). I have created a sample stored procedure inside a package MyPackage. I was logged in as a user "DBA_USER" for creating this SP.

PROCEDURE WT_MANAGEMENT_PRODUCTIVITY 
(
cur_output Out T_CURSOR
)AS 

sqlstr VARCHAR2(5000);
 BEGIN
  Sqlstr:='select sysdate from dual';
  Open cur_output For Sqlstr;

 END WT_MANAGEMENT_PRODUCTIVITY;

I tried to call this SP using

var r ref cursor;
exec MyPackage.WT_MANAGEMENT_PRODUCTIVITY(:r);
print r;

But it throws following error in Oracle SQL Developer

Usage: VAR[IABLE] [ <variable> [ NUMBER | CHAR | CHAR (n [CHAR|BYTE]) |
VARCHAR2 (n [CHAR|BYTE]) | NCHAR | NCHAR (n) |
NVARCHAR2 (n) | CLOB | NCLOB | REFCURSOR |
BINARY_FLOAT | BINARY_DOUBLE ] ]


Error starting at line 2 in command:
exec MyPackage.WT_MANAGEMENT_PRODUCTIVITY(:r);
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'WT_MANAGEMENT_PRODUCTIVITY'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
06550. 00000 -  "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
r

EDIT1 :

T_CURSOR is type:

TYPE T_CURSOR IS REF CURSOR;

Answer 1

var r ref cursor;

The above is syntactically incorrect. It should be -

var r refcursor

There is not space between ref cursor, it is one word, refcursor.

For example,

SQL> create table t as select * from emp;

Table created.

SQL> var r refcursor
SQL>
SQL> begin
  2     open :r for select * from t;
  3  end;
  4  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>
SQL> delete from t;

14 rows deleted.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL>
SQL> print r
