to changes made outside this cursor. If the database manager cannot make changes visible

to the cursor, then an error is returned. The database manager cannot make changes visible

<dd>Prevents the cursor from being closed as a consequence of a commit operation.
|
|
A cursor declared using the WITH HOLD clause is implicitly closed at commit
|
|
time only if the connection associated with the cursor is ended during the
|
|
commit operation.
|
|
<p>When WITH HOLD is specified, a commit operation commits
|
|
all the changes in the current unit of work, and releases all locks except
|
|
those that are required to maintain the cursor position. Afterwards, a FETCH
|
|
statement is required before a Positioned UPDATE or DELETE statement can be
|
|
executed.</p>
|
|
<p>All cursors are implicitly closed by a CONNECT (Type 1) or
|
|
rollback operation. All cursors associated with a connection are implicitly
|
|
closed by a disconnect of the connection. A cursor is also implicitly closed
|
|
by a commit operation if WITH HOLD is not specified, or if the connection
|
|
associated with the cursor is in the release-pending state.</p>
|
|
<p>If a cursor is
|
|
closed before the commit operation, the effect is the same as if the cursor
|
|
was declared without the WITH HOLD option.</p>

as a result set that will be returned from a procedure. WITH RETURN is relevant
|
|
only if the DECLARE CURSOR statement is contained within the source code for
|
|
a procedure. In other cases, the precompiler may accept the clause, but it
|
|
has no effect.
|
|
<p>Within a procedure, cursors declared using the WITH RETURN
|
|
clause that are still open when the SQL procedure ends define the result sets
|
|
from the SQL procedure. All other open cursors in an SQL procedure are closed
|
|
when the SQL procedure ends. Otherwise, any cursors open at the end of an
|
|
external procedure are considered the result sets.</p>
|
|
<p>For non-scrollable
|
|
cursors, the result set consists of all rows from the current cursor position
|
|
to the end of the result table. For scrollable cursors, the result set consists

of all rows of the result table.</p>

set is returned to the client application.

</dd>
|

<dt class="bold">TO CLIENT</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that the cursor can return a result set to the client application.

This cursor is invisible to any intermediate nested procedures. If a function

called the procedure either directly or indirectly, result sets cannot be
|
|
returned to the client and the cursor will be closed after the procedure finishes.

<p>TO CLIENT may be necessary if the result set is returned from an

ILE program with multiple modules.</p>

<p><span class="bold">Scope of a cursor:</span> The scope of <var class="pv">cursor-name</var> is
|
|
the source program in which it is defined; that is, the program submitted
|
|
to the precompiler. Thus, a cursor can only be referenced by statements that
|
|
are precompiled with the cursor declaration. For example, a program called
|
|
from another separately compiled program cannot use a cursor that was opened
|
|
by the calling program.</p>
|
|
<p>The scope of cursor-name is also limited to the thread in which the program
|
|
that contains the cursor is running. For example, if the same program is running
|
|
in two separate threads in the same job, the second thread cannot use a cursor
|
|
that was opened by the first thread.</p>
|
|
<p>A cursor can only be referred to in the same instance of the program in
|
|
the program stack unless CLOSQLCSR(*ENDJOB), CLOSQLCSR(*ENDSQL), or CLOSQLCSR(*ENDACTGRP)
|
|
is specified on the CRTSQLxxx commands. </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If CLOSQLCSR(*ENDJOB) is specified, the cursor can be referred to by any
|
|
instance of the program on the program stack.</li>
|
|
<li>If CLOSQLCSR(*ENDSQL) is specified, the cursor can be referred to by any
|
|
instance of the program on the program stack until the last SQL program on
|
|
the program stack ends.</li>
|
|
<li>If CLOSQLCSR(*ENDACTGRP) is specified, the cursor can be referred to by
|
|
all instances of the module in the activation group until the activation group
|
|
ends.</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Although the scope of a cursor is the program in which it is declared,
|
|
each package created from the program includes a separate instance of the
|
|
cursor and more than one cursor can exist at run time. For example, assume
|
|
a program using CONNECT (Type 2) statements connects to location X and location
|
|
Y in the following sequence: </p>
|
|
<pre class="xmp">EXEC SQL <span class="bold">DECLARE</span> C <span class="bold">CURSOR FOR</span>...
|
|
EXEC SQL <span class="bold">CONNECT TO</span> X;
|

|
<p>The second OPEN C statement does not cause an error because it refers to
|
|
a different instance of cursor C.</p>
|
|
<p>A SELECT statement is evaluated at the time the cursor is opened.
|
|
If the same cursor is opened, closed, and then opened again, the results may
|
|
be different. If the SELECT statement of a cursor contains CURRENT DATE, CURRENT
|
|
TIME, or CURRENT TIMESTAMP, all references to these special registers will
|
|
yield the same respective datetime value on each FETCH. The value is determined
|
|
when the cursor is opened. Multiple cursors using the same SELECT statement
|
|
can be opened concurrently. They are each considered independent activities.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Using sequence expressions:</span> For information
|
|
regarding using NEXT VALUE and PREVIOUS VALUE expressions with a cursor, see <a href="rbafzmstdatetimearith.htm#seqrefcsr">Using sequence expressions with a cursor</a>.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Blocking of data:</span> For more efficient processing of
|
|
data, the database manager can block data for read-only cursors. If a cursor is not
|
|
going to be used in a Positioned UPDATE or DELETE statement, it should be
|
|
declared as FOR READ ONLY.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Usage in REXX:</span> If variables are used on the DECLARE
|
|
CURSOR statement within a REXX procedure, then the DECLARE CURSOR must be
|
|
the object of a PREPARE and EXECUTE.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Cursor sensitivity:</span> The ALWCPYDTA precompile option
|
|
is ignored for DYNAMIC SCROLL cursors. If sensitivity to inserts, updates,
|
|
and deletes must be maintained, a temporary copy of the data is never made
|
|
unless a temporary result is required to implement the query.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Syntax alternatives:</span> The following keywords are synonyms
|
|
supported for compatibility to prior releases. These keywords are non-standard
|
|
and should not be used:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>DYNAMIC SCROLL is a synonym for SENSITIVE DYNAMIC SCROLL</li></ul>

<p><span class="italic">Example 1:</span> Declare C1 as the cursor of a query

DECLARE CURSOR statement. </p>

|
of a query to retrieve data from the table DEPARTMENT. Assume that the data

<p>Instead of explicitly specifying the columns to be updated, an UPDATE clause

could have been used without naming the columns. This would allow all the

updatable columns of the table to be updated. Since this cursor is updatable,

it can also be used to delete rows from the table.</p>

Obtain the value of the project to search for from the host variable SEARCH_PRJ
