I assume you are doing the following:

SCAN

CREATE CURSOR WITH VARIABLES

WORK WITH CURSOR

RELEASE CURSOR

ENDSCAN


That is the best I can do with the information you supplied. I would create a paramatarized view of the data then perform a simple REQUERY()


CREATE VIEW SomeCursor
SCAN
SCATTER
= REQUERY("Somecursor")

work with somecursor

ENDSCAN
