OPEN

Opens a previously declared DataRows cursor.

Syntax:

>>--EXEC ADO---OPEN datarows_name-----END-EXEC----><

Parameters:

datarows_name

The name of a DataRows cursor.

Comment:

OPEN is similar to the standard EXEC SQL OPEN statement.

Example:

* Declare the cursor...
     EXEC ADO
        DECLARE drCust DATAROWS FROM Customers
     END-EXEC

* Open the cursor...
     EXEC ADO
        OPEN drCust
     END-EXEC
