Is that the actual code (cut and pasted) from the program, or did you type it again? Also, I would use parenthesis just in case:

SELECT ass_l_ata,s_or_type FROM temp ;
INTO CURSOR cleared ;
WHERE (s_status = 'Cleared');
AND (ass_l_dept = gcDeptNo) ;
AND (mnemonic = gcProject) ;
AND (ass_l_grp = gcGroup ;
ORDER BY ass_l_ata
			
SELECT ass_l_ata,s_or_type FROM temp ;
INTO CURSOR outstanding ;
WHERE (ass_l_dept = gcDeptNo) ;
AND (mnemonic = gcProject) ;
AND (ass_l_grp = gcGroup) ;
AND (s_status <> 'Cleared') ;
ORDER BY ass_l_ata

BBHTH! (Baffled, but hoping to help)
