104. Examine this package:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pack_cur

IS

CURSOR c1 IS

SELECT prodid

FROM product

ORDER BY Prodid DESC;

PROCEDURE Proc1;

PROCEDURE Proc2;

END pack_cur;

/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pack_cur

IS

v_prodif NUMBER;

PROCEDURE proc1 IS

EXECUTE pack_cur. PROC1;

You then execute the procedure PROC2 from SQL *Plus with the command:

EXECUTE pack_cur. PROC2;

What is the output in your session from the PROC2 procedure?

A.  ERROR at line 1:

B.  Row is:

Row is:
