RETRIEVE CURSOR--Retrieve Data into Host Variables
Valid in: EQUEL
Retrieves data into host variables using a cursor.
This statement has the following format:
## retrieve cursor cursor_name (variable)
## {variable})
The retrieve cursor statement advances the cursor one row and loads the values specified in the retrieve clause of the declare cursor statement into the specified host variables. The retrieve cursor statement is the only way to advance a cursor.
