In the tips in the back of the Sept 2002 UT magazine :
Sometimes, you may want to add some fields to a cursor. Assuming, you have created your cursor in READWRITE mode, you could do the following:
ALTER TABLE 'temp' ADD COLUMN cImage c(20)
Since this mentions readwrite I assume it refers to a cursor created with a SQL Select
SELECT ccompany FROM cutomer INTO CURSOR temp READWRITE
ALTER TABLE 'temp' ADD COLUMN url m
When I do this I get an 'Invalid operation for the cursor' message.
I was hoping this would be a shortcut around the old dummy cursor Cartesian join trick. What am I missing?

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
