You need to omit the alias in the fields of your report, and make sure it's selected. So anywhere in your report where you have "cursor1.field" you should have "field" only. Then this will work:

select cursor1
report form report1 noconsole preview
select cursor2
report form report1 noconsole preview
select cursor3
report form report1 noconsole preview
* and so on

If there's too many of these, you can always base your report on some imaginary cursorN (i.e. have the "cursorn.field" expressions in report fields), and then

select * from cursor1 into cursorn
report form report1 noconsole preview
select * from cursor2 into cursorn
report form report1 noconsole preview
* etc etc
