Your SQL is correct, but the problem you willl have is that the source of the subquery has to be the same as the CHILD1 table (i.e., MYCURSOR actually has to be in the same place as CHILD1). So you need a different approach. In VFP, the syntax would be something like:

select * from child1 where inlist(CustKey, val1, val2, val3, ..., valx)

Or, in Oracle [and probably SQL Server]:

select * from child1 where CustKey in (val1, val2, val3, ..., valx)
