Using Loop and Cursor in same mysql procedure showing error - mysql

Question

The following code is working properly. But when i am enabling the commented area (cursor), then the code showing error. Please help to fix the issue.
Scenario: The code allow some parameter. It will prepare the data in a table and then the cursor will take data from that table and output that data.
Same Parameter: call prGetInsuranceData_Multiple(2, 'Saroar,Ahmed', '20,30')

You need to pout the loop and its declarations in a BEGIn ENd
Still i needed to reprogram the hole thing, because your code threw error, that i couldn't find
create procedure prGetInsuranceData_Multiple(
IN PeopleToBeCovered INT,
IN _NAME VARCHAR(4000),
IN _AGE VARCHAR(200))
begin
DECLARE V_Name VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE V_AGE INT;
DECLARE X INT DEFAULT 0;
drop temporary table if exists TempCustomer;
drop temporary table if exists TempCustomer1;
create temporary table TempCustomer( NAME VARCHAR(255),AGE int );
create temporary table TempCustomer1(NAME VARCHAR(255),AGE int);
SET X = 1;
BEGIN
WHILE X <= PeopleToBeCovered DO
SET V_Name = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(_NAME,',',X),',',-1);
SET V_Age = SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(_AGE,',',X),',',-1);
SET X = X + 1;
INSERT INTO TempCustomer VALUES(V_Name,V_Age);
END WHILE;
END;
BEGIN
DECLARE finished INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE v_id int ;
DECLARE v_name varchar(255);
declare cur_NameWithAge cursor for select NAME,AGE from TempCustomer;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER
FOR NOT FOUND SET finished = 1;
open cur_NameWithAge;
GetNameWithAge: LOOP
fetch cur_NameWithAge into v_name,v_id;
IF finished = 1 THEN
LEAVE GetNameWithAge;
END IF;
INSERT INTO TempCustomer1 VALUES (v_name,v_id);
END LOOP GetNameWithAge;
CLOSE cur_NameWithAge;
END;
select * FROM TempCustomer;
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE TempCustomer1;
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE TempCustomer1;
end
call prGetInsuranceData_Multiple(2, 'Saroar,Ahmed', '20,30')
NAME | AGE
:----- | --:
Saroar | 20
Ahmed | 30
