Hi guys!!

I am trying to fill a cursor with the results of a Stored
Procedured, but SQL give me an syntax error message , does any one can
give me some help

I am using SQL Server, this is the first lines of my code

DECLARE FRates_Cursor CURSOR FOR
exec GET_FJRs_Eng 'all'
OPEN FRates_Cursor

if I run just the exec GET_FJRs_Eng 'all' line it give me the data
results I am trying to put into the cursor, what that means is the
stored is working fine

I tried with sp_who with no luck so what I did was copied the SQL out
of sp_who and used the select statement that it uses. That may get you
a workaround for now but if the original SP changes then you have to
remember to change the other one as well :-\

Well, SQL Server permits you to pass a cursor variable from a stored
procedure to another. It sounds as if this is something you could have
use for here. Please, refer to Books Online for details. And don't
ask *me* about it, because I have never used the feature, and I guess
that I never will.

Another possibility is to get the data into a temp table, and work
from there. For discussion on this, see an article on my web site:
