RE: Syntax for SELECT statement Stored Procedure???

["Dave Odom" <Dave.Odom@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Elvis,

But I do want to create SQL Stored Procedures because they are not
dynamically prepared and executed each time they run like in a .ASP or
.NET program.   As I understand it they create "plans"/access paths that
run as static SQL.  

Another reason is what returns should only be one row for the specific
parms/criteria passed.   And, yes, it is possible each of my stored
procedures will be used by the multiple programs in the specific .ASP
application in question AND, in future, by other applications.  

So, for what I want, is the correct syntax?:

CREATE PROCEDURE whatever I want to call it  (anything go between the
parenthesis such as my variable names -- SELUTCSID, SELUTLCID,SELUTSVC,
SELUSSSTS ????) 
LANGUAGE SQL 
  BEGIN 
 DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR SELECT UTCSID, UTLCID, UTSVC, UTSSTS  FROM
DODOM1.BFUT220AP WHERE (UTCSID = SELUTCSID AND
UTLCID = SELUTLCID AND UTSVC = SELUTSVC);
 OPEN C1;
 RETURN; 
 END 

Where am I missing the boat?

Thanks very much for your help,

Dave
