There is one exception. Although this technique is rarely used anymore, it is listed as an alternative.
I use it occasionally expecially if I am gathering information for the cursor a little at a time.
CREATE CURSOR cCur (fld1 C(10), fld2 I)
*..... a lot of code
m.fld1 = "Something"
*..... a lot of other code
m.fld2 = 45
*..... more code
INSERT INTO cCur from MEMVAR
