Oracle SQL Developer: Show REFCURSOR Results in Grid?

I am new to Oracle SQL Developer. I am using Oracle SQL Developer Version 3.0. I was trying to test my SP using the following query.

DECLARE
  type output_cursor is ref cursor;
  P_CURSOR output_cursor;
BEGIN
  P_CURSOR := NULL;
  myPackage.mySPTest (  P_NOTIFICATION_ID => 1975357,P_CURSOR => P_CURSOR) ;
END;

When I ran the above query in my Oracle SQL Developer, I am getting a message 'anonymus block completed' and its not showing any result.

Can anyone help me, how to see the result.

You can use a bind variable declared in SQL Developer to hold and show the results:

var r refcursor;
exec myPackage.mySPTest(P_NOTIFICATION_ID => 1975357, P_CURSOR => :r);
print r;

exec is shorthand for an anonymous block so this is equivalent to:

var r refcursor;
begin
    myPackage.mySPTest(P_NOTIFICATION_ID => 1975357, P_CURSOR => :r);
end;
/
print r;

Unless P_CURSOR is declared as something unhelpful, maybe...
