No, but the return requires two distinct pieces of information at least - a data session and an alias. RETURN hands back a single thing; you can't RETURN an array directly, so you need an object with at least two properties to give back the necessary details.

Another approach would be to create the object based on a Form class with a private data session. Open the cursor in the object's private data session, and hand back the form to the caller as an object. This encapsulates the cursor in an object that can survive the return - if you create a cursor in a private datasession and then terminate the data session the cursor will go away.
