I can find a situation where a fetch can fail:
declare
i integer;
cursor c is
select 1 / 0 from dual;
begin
open c;
begin
fetch c
into i;
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('ex');
end;
if c%notfound is null then
dbms_output.put_line('null');
elsif c%notfound then
dbms_output.put_line('true');
else
dbms_output.put_line('false');
end if;
close c;
end;
