I don't think that will work all the time. A cursor may be a sql filtered,

lose the filter. The problem is mixing the legacy dml with sql; they don't
think of data in exactly the same way.
Thank you for the warning, but it is not applicable in my case
as I created the cursor with create cursor.
I believe, but don't have time to verify or remember, that a pure sql
statement will work. Something like:
insert into targettable (field list);
select (sourcefield list) from sourcecursor
Yes, it will work, but unfortunately, the two lists have to
match. Using append, you do not even need a list.
