You raise an interesting point here Mark. That sure is a way to create a cursor based on an existing structure. The cursor will contain every record in the original dataset. I often want an empty cursor.
You could go
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE .F. INTO CURSOR cursorname NOFILTER
however this is not Rushmore optimizable (try it on a huge dataset!)
So....
Does anyone know a fast one liner for creating an empty cursor based on an existing structure?
