PLSQL Error: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence

Hi there,

I am writing a stored package to load some data from a temp table to a prod table. The proc. uses a for cursor loop where the contents of the load table are held in the cursor.

It also uses SAVEPOINTs to implement an optimal commit requirement where a save point is set every time the DB is successfully written to and after OPTIMAL_COMMIT_LEVEL number of writes have been made, a commit is executed.

The cursor isNOT an UPDATEable one...here is my error UNEXPECTED ERROR: ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence

If you have any ideas please let me know,

Thanks,
David

PS: here is the OERR o/p

SQL> host oerr ora 01002
01002, 00000, "fetch out of sequence"
// *Cause: This error means that a fetch has been attempted from a cursor
// which is no longer valid. Note that a PL/SQL cursor loop
// implicitly does fetches, and thus may also cause this error.
// There are a number of possible causes for this error,
including:
// 1) Fetching from a cursor after the last row has been
retrieved
// and the ORA-1403 error returned.
// 2) If the cursor has been opened with the FOR UPDATE clause,
// fetching after a COMMIT has been issued will return the
error.
// 3) Rebinding any placeholders in the SQL statement, then
issuing
// a fetch before reexecuting the statement.
// *Action: 1) Do not issue a fetch statement after the last row has been
// retrieved - there are no more rows to fetch.
// 2) Do not issue a COMMIT inside a fetch loop for a cursor
// that has been opened FOR UPDATE.
// 3) Reexecute the statement after rebinding, then attempt to
// fetch again.
