There is no difference in declaring a cursor in working storage or procedure division. The only constraint with declaring a cursor is that it should be done before any OPEN CURSOR statement.

In many organizations there are coding standards that dictate which to use.
I'd recommend you find out if there is a standard where you are and to follow that standard.
The advantage of one way over another is that if your code violates standards, it may not be promotable. |
