You are saying "have to be in scope inside MyXRFX() function". Any variable declared as LOCAL or PRIVATE, inside that function would be in scope of that function. So using LOCAL is fine. The error you are getting doesn't make sense.

Also, I think hard coding a cursor name is always fine. Cursor names are private to the data session that they are created in and their file names are sys(2015) values implicitly.
