CURSOR

SET CURSOR n

Sets the currently active cursor to cursor n, when using multiple cursors, where n is the cursor number. This is the cursor that will be used if a cursor number is not specified in statements that support an ON CURSOR n clause. Cursor numbers are assigned automatically as each cursor is opened. Use the CURSORDISPLAY ON set option to automatically display the cursor number as the cursor is opened.

The current instance is automatically set when the cursor is set using the CURSOR set option, because each cursor is associated with a single instance. However, the current cursor becomes undefined when the instance is set with the INSTANCE set option, because each instance can have multiple cursors.

 

Example

$ odxsql orders.env
Connected to environment orders.env
>SET CURSORDISPLAY ON
>OPEN CURSOR
Opened cursor 2
>SET CURSOR 1
Current instance is now 1, and current cursor is now 1
