The %ROWTYPE is associated with defining a variable that stores the record returned from a cursor based operation. This is typically found where the code has chosen to do a OPEN / FETCH / CLOSE cursor operations.

I have found that by converting the PL/SQL to use a FOR LOOP construct, it provides the record holder. In the following example, the variable "cov_row" is in essence what you are trying to implement. This example is an way you get around a "TOO MANY ROWS" exception by reading the first record returned and ignoring the remainder if they exist.

     cov_loop:
     FOR cov_row AS cov_cur CURSOR FOR
         SELECT cvrg_key
         FROM cvrg_dim
         WHERE plcy_cvrg_id        = :i_plcy_cov_id
     DO
         SET v_cvrg_key           = cov_row.coverage_key;
         LEAVE cov_loop;
     END FOR cov_loop;
