Yes, but I did not see an explicit prohibition on returning result  
sets. Lots of vague implications that an open cursor can be processed  
by another application.

Can't use that in CLI.

That's essentially the base of my ideas. What if you named a cursor  
and left it open and ran in a named activation group. Something like  
CLI stored procedure in named activation group creates a named cursor  
and returns leaving the cursor open. JDBC connexion invokes stored  
procedure then attempts to process result set? Next step would be to  
try from two CLI programs.
