Re: ORA 1002 - fetch out of sequence problem in reports 2.5

There is a document on Fetch Out of Sequence Check out:
http://technet.oracle.com/support/bboard/content/647.htm

Summary:
The cursor is no longer valid.

Common Causes:
Fetching after cursor returns no data.
Example: an infinite loop with no exit:

   Open c1;
   loop fetch c1 into x; End Loop;

Second Case:
Selecting for Update, and while in the loop updating with a COMMIT.

      "commit across fetches in a select for update " The document explains the locking strategy and why this causes the error.

    "The solution to this problem is to move the commit     outside the fetch loop or use a simple select rather     than a select for update."
