Pointer to the results set of a database selection. The database cursor is always assigned to a line of the results set. In ABAP SQL, cursor handling is implicit, except for the statements OPEN CURSOR, FETCH, and CLOSE CURSOR. A program can open a maximum of 17 database cursors simultaneously using the ABAP SQL interface.
