Example: Cursor Processing
The following is an example of cursor processing:
exec sql include sqlca;

exec sql begin declare section;
     name          character_string(15);
     salary        float;
exec sql end declare section;

exec sql whenever sqlerror stop;

exec sql connect personnel;

exec sql declare c1 cursor for
          select ename, sal
          from employee
          for update of sal;

exec sql open c1;

exec sql whenever not found goto closec1;
loop while more rows
/* The WHENEVER NOT FOUND statement causes
     the loop to be broken as soon as a row
     is not fetched. */

exec sql fetch c1 into :name, :salary;

print name, salary;

if salary less than 10000 then
          exec sql update employee
               set salary = 10000
               where current of c1;
end if;
end loop;

closec1:

exec sql close c1;

exec sql disconnect;
