Actually, there is a reason for declaring the cursor in the Procedure Division, however, it is slight.
In CICS programs, the communications area (CA) is passed via the linkage section. If a cursor WHERE clause is predicated on a field in the CA area, then to avoid using a working storage variable and a MOVE statement prior to the opening of the cursor, you should code the cursor declaration in the Procedure Division, prior to the opening logic, etc.
If you don't mind using extra variables, and coding the required MOVE statements, then keep your cursor dec in WS.
In your DB2 pre-compiler, you can test this logic. Put the cursor above the linkage section, and try to use a field in the linkage section as a host variable in the where clause.
Then move it to the very early part of the Procedure Division. The pre-compiler will then be happy.
Good Luck!
