Regarding this, "c language", I'll comment later....

This seems incomplete, but I's telling you the cause. You had an
error, you need to terminate the transaction before issuing a new one,
i.e., do a commit ( which, IIRC, will rollback if the transaction is
in error ) or rollback.

As you stated C I cannot comment too much, but notice:

> theCursorDec = (RWCString)"DECLARE " + mySqlCursor + " CURSOR FOR " + theSql;
> myFetchSql = "FETCH " + fetchStr + " IN " + mySqlCursor;

Neither of these are C, they COULD be C++

Same as this comment.

And these are definitely not C ( no ; ) and, if you generated them by
editing, myfetchsql is quoted which smells fishy.

I won't comment more until you confirm that is the real code, but
anyway it seems to me you issue transaction start queries without
properly terminating them with a transaction end one.
