Declaring a Cursor and Consuming a cursor must always be within the same
procedure independent in which language the procedure is written.
The only exception are stored procedures returning result sets. In this case
the Cursor is declared and opened in the stored procedure (but not closed).
The result set is returned when opening the cursor. The returned data is
then consumed in the caller routine (ASSOCIATE / ALLOCATE ... and then loop
through the resultset and FETCH each row and finally CLOSE)

Subject: sqlrpgle - cursor declared in exportable proc
is it possible to declare an sql in an exportable procedure, and use that
cursor in the consuming executable?
tried it but my consuming RPG pgm will not compile, saying it cannot find
the c1 cursor...
What am I missing or is it just not possible?
