Hi Luis,

based on your infos there is no need to create a new cursor, change this new one and make it the new base cursor.

To me it seems, that your problem already appears in the base cursor because that one is readonly.

You should check where your base cursor is created and take care ( might be via adding READWRITE at the end of the select statement) that it is updateable.

As soon as your cursor can be updated, and you want to change all records to one identical value, all you'd have to do would be a global REPLACE.

REPLACE ALL vencido WITH [Vencido] IN myCurs
