Syntax

CLOSE CursorName ;

Usage

This statement must be preceded by an OPEN statement for the same cursor. The USING TransactionObject clause is not allowed with CLOSE; the transaction object was specified in the statement that declared the cursor.

CLOSE often appears in the script that is executed when the SQL code after a fetch equals 100 (not found).

Error handling It is good practice to test the success/failure code after executing a CLOSE cursor statement.
