Hello Guys.
I found a statement in an online program using "DECLARE ABSORV CURSOR".
You know what "ABSORV" is?
This implies the improvement or worsening of performance?
Thanks!!
Maidy

Hi Maidy,
Unless I'm missing the obvious - "ABSORV" is cursor name, it could be just any other name. The DECLARE definition for cursor is:
Syntax
Code: Select all
>>-DECLARE--cursor-name--CURSOR--+-----------+------------------>
'-WITH HOLD-'
>--+----------------------------+--FOR--+-select-statement-+---><
| .-TO CALLER-. | '-statement-name---'
'-WITH RETURN--+-----------+-'
'-TO CLIENT-'

My god! It's true!
I was induced for a mainframe analyst, who was saying that the program was a command that he had never seen! And I thought he was right! Sorry guys ...
For me, I would delete this topic.
What a shame!

No problem - It just so happens once in a while...
