Oracle PL/SQL - %ISOPEN Attribute: Is the Cursor Open?

  4. Explicit Cursor Attributes

Introduction

%ISOPEN returns TRUE if its explicit cursor is open; FALSE otherwise.

%ISOPEN is useful for Checking that an explicit cursor is not already open before you try to open it.

If you try to open an explicit opened cursor, PL/SQL raises the predefined exception CURSOR_ALREADY_OPEN.

You must close an explicit cursor before you can reopen it.
