Hi

WITH HOLD option is used to hold the result set only if COMMIT is issued.

But when the program abends , the cursor will be closed implicitly, I think

Cheers,

WITH HOLD specifies that the cursor may continue to be used after the transaction that created it successfully commits.
If WITH HOLD is specified and the transaction that created the cursor successfully commits, the cursor can continue to be accessed by subsequent transactions in the same session. (But if the creating transaction is aborted, the cursor is removed.) A cursor created with WITH HOLD is closed when an explicit CLOSE command is issued on it, or the session ends
