Re: max open cursors

I think that modifying the parameter isn't a long term solution. If I set it to 1000, then when I hit 1000 should I change it to 2000? We need to fix the root of the problem. I am having the same problem in Reports 2.5 and see no reason why I am getting the max cursors error. There must be some way to close the cursors when the report finishes.

I have been told that select statements (for instance the ones used to create the values in the drop down lists for parameters) count as cursors. Any truth to this?

How can I code my report to assure these cursors get closed? I too use a for loop which is supposed to close the cursor upon completion.
