First, you can drop the semi-colons at the end of the command. Not needed and a potentional trap if you every accidentally add a line of code after w/o inserting a blank line.

Second, you need to SELECT INTO a different cursor...you overwrite each one with the next select. You want to end up with one cursor per SELECT statement.
