I might be remembering incorrectly, but I *think* that the declare

cursor

must be in the main line, not the sub-procedure.

I always declare my cursor in a subprocedure -- but I use a single
subprocedure for OPEN, FETCH, and CLOSE processing of the related cursor.
So, if separate subprocedures are used for these three operations then,
yes, the cursor should be declared at the top of the program.

Sincerely,
