Hello all,

One of the developers here is having trouble using this cursor attribute. He swears up and down the statement is correct and should be updating rows. I tried to recreate his problem and wasn't able to. Below is an example of the type of code I'm referencing.

Has anyone ever seen the implicit cursor attributes screw up and return wrong values? I don't believe I ever have. Any responses are appreciated.

Thanks
