Instead of a cursor, you can use a View and have the built-in capabilities of having the view update the underlying table.

When creating the view, add ".f. as lSelected" in the Functions and Expression textbox and click on Add. Your new expression will show up in the view. The function won't show up in the Update Criteria but it will show up in both the Order By and Group By tabs.

HTH.
