c_REC_EMP is select employess who are not retired;
END IF;

FOR REC_PROCESS IN c_REC_EMP
LOOP
do_some_stuff;
END LOOP;

END;

create table t (
  id int, 
  status varchar2(10)
);

insert into t values (1, 'RETIRED');
insert into t values (2, 'EMPLOYED');

declare
  stts t.status%type := 'RETIRED';
begin
  for emps in (
    select * from t
    where  status = stts 
  ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line(emps.id);
