Well, I've already used this "manual" to remove a couple of
TIB_Cursor.Close statements in one of my programs. Though it did feel a bit
weird not to close the cursor and just assign another parameter value when
I didn't know whether it had reached the end or not (doing some reading of
the first matching record within a loop without caring about whether there
are more matches or not).
