Hi my name is Xavier Costey and I´ve a problem:

I program with Oracle Forms Ver 5.
I assign a stored procedure to a Data Block. This runs well, but when the program is executed the number times of the variable OPEN_CURSORS
then forms raises with the error number ORA-01000.

Questions:

• The forms close automaticly the cursor? If Forms don't close the cursor how can i close it?
• The package of the stored procedure is correct ?
• I´ve got teh variable OPEN_CURSORS = 512, is this value correct?

Thanks

ORA-01000 : maximum open cursors exceeded

            A host language program attempted to open too many cursors. The
            initialization parameter OPEN_CURSORS determines the
            maximum number of  cursors per user.

Example of stored procedure :

/****************************************************/

create or replace package contracte_generic is   type tipus_registre_tercer is record(

                  ID  tercers.id%type,
                  TIP_TERCER tip_tercers.descripcio%type,
                  NOM  tercers.nom%type,
                  COGNOMS tercers.cognoms%type,
                  COGNOM2 tercers.cognom2%type,
                  NIF  tercers.nif%type,
                  NOM_COMERCIAL tercers.nom_comercial%type,
                 tip_terecer_codi tip_tercers.codi%type,
                 client_id      clients.id%type

);

  type cursor_tipus_tercer is ref cursor return tipus_registre_tercer;

  Procedure select_tercer(codi_tercer number, retval in out cursor_tipus_tercer);

end contracte_generic;
