[RBASE-L] - RE: Read Only Cursor Error?

[Walker, Buddy]

Steve
  The use of Current of is used when you have declared a cursor for
instance
 
  Normally I would use C1 instead of  cBuildCHKSTR.
 
   DECL cBuildCHKSTR CURSOR FOR SEL columnName FROM tableview whe
........
 
   OPE cBuildCHKSTR
 
  WHILE 3 = 3  THEN
    FETCH cBuildCHKSTR INTO VariableName INDIC IVar
     IF SQLCODE = 100 THEN
      BREAK
     ENDIF
 
      UPDATE tableview SET colunmList WHE CURRENT OF C1
     --This will update the columnList of  whatever row the cursor is
pointing to at that time.
 
  ENDWHIL
 
 Hope this helps
 
Buddy

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Read Only Cursor Error?


I know I've missed something somewhere and I can't find any reference to
it so far, 
but, how does one make ("un-make") a READ-ONLY CURSOR?
 
When I attempt to execute : 
 
   UPDATE +
      TEMP_MASTER +
   SET +
      CheckString = (.vCheckString) +
   WHERE +
      CURRENT OF cBuildCHKSTR

I'm getting the following error message :
 
   -ERROR- Illegal use of a read-only cursor. (3007)
 
I seem to recall that a cursor can be read-only, 
but I haven't (yet) found any reference thereto
in the magnetic or paper reference materials I have.
 
 
TIA,
Steve in Memphis
