I'm not familiar with MaxDB but can you excute both statemnts as one batch? Something like

TEXT TO lcSql NOSHOW 
DECLARE XNAME CURSOR FOR WITH RECURSIVE TMPOBJ
(LEVEL, rbobjekteid, oberobjektid)  AS (SELECT 1, ro.rbobjekteid, ro.oberobjektid FROM rbobjekte ro
 WHERE oberobjektid = '10091691'
 UNION ALL SELECT TMPOBJ.LEVEL + 1, ro.rbobjekteid, ro.oberobjektid FROM rbobjekte ro ,TMPOBJ
 WHERE ro.oberobjektid = TMPOBJ.rbobjekteid)
select distinct rbobjekteid from tmpobj
select * from xyz where xyz.rbobjekteid in (select rbobjekteid from xname)
ENDTEXT

lnResult = sqlexec(connr,lcSql)
