Jack writes "How do I manage @@FETCH_STATUS in nested cursors? I understand that @@FETCH_STATUS is global to all scripts and procedures.
For example;
DECLARE First_cursor CURSOR FOR
select DayNum,Time_id from tblMedLog where MedUID=21
OPEN Med_cursor
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- Use another cursor ( second_cursor ) here and use @@FETCH_STATUS to control the looping

END

I have tried select @@FETCH_STATUS = @MyFetchStatus; does not work!"

Actually, if you switch it around you should be OK:

SELECT @MyFetchStatus=@@FETCH_STATUS

When assigning a value to a user variable, the variable needs to be on the left side of the equal sign.
