Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The technique of retrieving data with SQL one row at a time is referred to as cursor processing. This example will show how to process a data base sequentially by key using cursor processing. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This suite of programs is provided as a COBOL programming example of one of the possible solutions.
