I started in a project involving Cobol and DB2 on an IBM z/OS host system. The software module documentation makes frequent references to a term called "driving cursor".
Could someone explain this term, if possible in the DB2/Cobol context?
I know the definition of the term SQl cursor as "A database cursor is an object that enables traversal over the rows of a result set. It allows you to process individual row returned by a query."
But what, specifically, is a DRIVING cursor?
thanks.
