SQL - 2 Result sets, 1 Cursor

This should answer all the questions asked and I guess it's not important the 
result sets are returned in one Cursor...two cursers from one stored procedure 
would be fine (I think, I'm new at this).

Version 5.1
Result set 1 will contain selected items from an item master file.
Result set 2 will contain comments for each item selected in result set one. 
(One to many relationship)

I guess the big question is how you use that first result set as input to the 
second select without building what we typically think of as a work file in 
QTEMP.  What I'm learning, Vernon's example of running the first select within 
the second select (i.e. running it twice) is not a bad solution and is still 
very quick.

I'm still not sure about returning two result sets from one stored procedure, 
but that's something I can run and test.
