Hi Chitu,
Cursor is a Progamming device which is used to retrieve one row at a time from the result of a select statement.
As Host language is capable of holding only one row at a time, and select is used in a cobol+db2 program which retreives multiple rows at a time, to bridge between these two conditions, cursor is used.
Cursor now takes each row from the result of a select statement and submits it to the host language. That is how cursor works.
