Answer / harshad r suryawaunshi

1. Declare cursor first - It will select all the record
available in the filed 'ADMIN'

c/exec sql
c+ declare cr1 cursor for
c+ select ADMIN from EMPLOYEE
c/end-exec

2. Open the cursor - its like seting the pointer on the
first record

c/exec sql
c+ open cr1
c/end-exec

3. Fetch the cursor - its like reading the records in the
cursor. NAME is the field defined in the program which
attributs are same as per field ADMIN.

c/exec sql
c+ fetch cr1 into :name
c/end-exec

This code u can execute in Do loop to read all the records.
The complete coding would look like this

c/exec sql
c+ fetch cr1 into :name
c/end-exec

C dow sqlcod <>100
C
C name dsply
c/exec sql
c+ fetch cr1 into :name
c/end-exec

C enddo
