the compilation error and description for the above cursor problem is,

DB2 SQL PRECOMPILER MESSAGES
DSNH199I E DSNHPARS LINE 115 COL 20 INVALID KEYWORD "ORDER"; VALID SYMBOLS ARE: < > = <> <= !< !> != >= �< �> �= IN NOT .

i think that the WHERE clause should be

WHERE IMG_FLAG = 'S' OR IMG_FLAG = 'R'

instead of WHERE IMG_FLAG = 'S' OR 'R'

Please try this

EXEC SQL DECLARE IMAGE_TOUR_CSR2 CURSOR FOR
SELECT IMG_NME,
IMG_DTE,
IMG_FLAG
FROM IMG_TABLE
WHERE IMG_FLAG = 'S'
OR IMG_FLAG = 'R'
ORDER BY IMG_FLAG ,IMG_DTE
END-EXEC.

(OR)

EXEC SQL DECLARE IMAGE_TOUR_CSR2 CURSOR FOR
SELECT IMG_NME,
IMG_DTE,
IMG_FLAG
FROM IMG_TABLE
WHERE IMG_FLAG IN ( 'S','R')
ORDER BY IMG_FLAG ,IMG_DTE
END-EXEC.

Thanks Gautam....Now it is working fine with CNTL_FLAG = 'E' OR CNTL_FLAG = 'H' .
