OK, as Christian said, you will need to use IB_Query if you want the output
set to be in the scrollable IB_Grid. You *can* output an ib_cursor to an
IB_CursorGrid, though this is nothing much more than a visible container in
which to buffer the results.

IB_Cursor by design returns rows one at a time. You "open" it by calling
First and you access subsequent rows by calling Next while not EOF.

There may be a problem in your SP. It needs to have been written as a
selectable SP, viz.

begin
...
for select
ID, DATAX. NR_ACT, SOLD_FSAI, INCASARE,
PLATA, SOLD_FSA
from aTable
where DATAX between :date1 and :date2
and ID = :person_id
into :ID, :DATAX. :NR_ACT, :SOLD_FSAI, :INCASARE,
:PLATA, :SOLD_FSA
DO BEGIN
/* massage the data if you need to */
SUSPEND;
END
END

This will put the first output row into a buffer at the server and wait
until the application, i.e. your ib_cursor, calls First (to fetch the first
row). Then it will output the next row and wait for your ib_cursor to call
Next.
