Re: Close SQL Cursor without Ending Module

The real problem as Chuck alludes to is the "other" programs that expect
the file to not be in use... While that may have been the case 20yrs ago,
it is no longer true.

Let me guess...the "other" programs are doing a CLRPFM?

CLRPFM simply doesn't play well in a 24x7 connected systems environment,
IMHO.

I've replaced it with a SQL DELETE using a command front end (CLRPFMSQL)..

Here's what I want to do...declare a cursor, open it, fetch records from

would do that with the OPEN and CLOSE opcodes. However, using embedded

SQL

seems to leave the file open, with problems at night with other jobs that
need to access that file. I have SET OPTION CLOSQLCSR=*ENDMOD, and that
closes it when I end the program. My problem is that the program isn't
ended...someone walks away with the display up on their screen.

How can I close an SQL cursor without ending the program? CLOSE <cursor>
doesn't seem to work while the program is still active.

Thanks!
