DB2 cursor

Hi,

Can somebody tell me what happens when a DB2 cursor has been opened, fetching and processing is done and the cursor is not closed programatically? Will all the cursors used in the program be automatically closed at the end of run (batch programs)?

Unless you do a COMMIT, cursor will still be active. but a cursor declared with HOLD option will not close the cursor even on commit.

cheers

simimathew,

Yes, an open cursor is closed by the operating system at termination of your job, just as it closed any PS/VSAM files. It is, however, good practice to close all open files cursors within you program prior to ending.

David,
But what happens in an Abend situation, does it still close. I have had some problem with VSAM files, if they are not properly closed. Any idea.

die7nadal,

Yes for abends that cursor is also closed.

The only problem, and really not a problem, with VSAM files on abends is that it gives a open status of 97 instead of 00. This is OK and just a warning that the last time the VSAM file was used it did not close normally. Have you experienced other problems?
