Hello,
In my program, I have got a cursor. I do some processing based on the record it receive from cursor.
I need to commit ( manually ) in my program. Can some one tell me what all things I need to do with the cursor ? Like, do I need to repositon the cursor etc ?
Thanks for all the help anyone can provide. |

| If you use the WITH HOLD option of your OPEN CURSOR, it will remain open across COMMITs, otherwise a COMMIT will close it. |

| Once the cursor is closed, you would need to open it again. Your logic would determine whether or not you need to position the cursor at the desired fetched row. |

| ok..but I will use WITH HOLD option so that the cursors are open..then I think I dont have to worry about repositioning..Is my assumption correct ? |

Thank you Terry for your help.
Just to summarize my conclusions
I'll use WITH HOLD option in my open cursor. With that the cursor will be open even when commiting in the program. Hence, I dont have to reposition the cursor.
Please correct me if I am incorrect any where...
Once again appreciate your help ! |

Hello,
And to build confidence, create a very small program that is fed specific values to force different "found sets" for different iterations using the cursor. The only reason for the program is to exercise the question cursor and commit.
Do some commits and some without and put displays in the code to track the results.
When you see it work as you understand, it is a great confidence builder 
If there are any surprises, someone will be here. |

| Nothing beats writing little test programs as Dick suggests to better understand how things work. |

I believe there is a work-culture problem here.

I fully agree and do it often. But it seems as if most of the posters
not only can not or will not do this -- for what ever reason. |
