Ted,
I've used Sys(2015) for a long time in all my apps for temporary cursors and
I've never had a problem so I'm very interested in the fact you say that
invalid cursor names can be returned. When and under what circumstances?
I'm interested in hearing your answer too. I use SYS(2015) many times
in combobox recordsources when I use RecordSourceType=3 (SQL
Statement). For example, I use "select cName, iid from MyViewOrTable
into cursor sys(2015) order by cName" for the recordsource.
I do agree however that reports should be pre-processed with SQL Selects in
order to produce a single cursor when possible.
Absolutely...life is much easier when you can use a single cursor for
the report's source. Makes it easier to issue a COPY TO out to a table
so that you can check things when debugging too, imo.
