Oracle Message PLS-00387 - INTO variable cannot be a database object

ERRORINTO variable cannot be a database object
CAUSEAn item in the INTO list of a FETCH or SELECT statement was found to be a database object. INTO introduces a list of user-defined variables to which output values are assigned. Therefore, database objects cannot appear in the INTO list.
ACTIONCheck the spelling of the INTO list item. If necessary, remove the item from the INTO list or replace it with a user-defined output variable.
