Answer / vaid
i think, if we dont close a cursor there will be no problem.
since once the program ends all the database
transaciton/connections are terminated and also commit is
implicitly executed.. so the cursors will be closed.
and all resources held by program will be released.

When the COMMIT stmt is issued, the cursor is atomatically
closed.

Answer / i go crazy
If the cursor is declared WITH HOLD option, then after committing cursor will not close. Otherwise cursor will close automatically after committing or after the end of the program.

Answer / swamy
If you dont close cursor in your db2-cobol program, the
program will effectively have a hold on the tablebase and will
prevent other users from acessing it or updating it. Correct

Answer / karthic
If the cursor has not been closed, the cursor will occupy
the whole private SQL work area. The next query performance
will be affected.

I am not confident about this answer::
I think no problem when u not close cursor. But problem occurs when you again OPEN CURSOR.
When this happen some cursor related errors occurs. I think 502 will show. I Dont know exactly.
Please Correct My answer if it is wrong.
