Re: SQL Cursors and recursive procedures

<Bradley>
I seem to recall having a chat with Jon Paris (probably on this list)
about SQL Cursors and not being able to use them recursively. I've done
some searching and just can't find that conversation.

Is that still the case on V7R2/3? Is there any way to set a cursor as
unique to the recursion level of the call to the function instead of at the
program level?

If not, besides RLA what other options are there?

This is a Bugfeature of the SQL Precompilers: the precompiler is using static storage (just global vars) for it's variables.
The RPG/SQL solution would be to use SQL CLI and you could have multiple instances of the same cursor, each of it having a diffrent statement handle.
