OPEN is not an SQL command like DECLARE and CLOSE. It is part of
PL/pgSQL and will only work within a PL/pgSQL function, it is documented
at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/plpgsql-cursors.html#PLPGSQL-CURSOR-OPENING.

Also note that PL/pgSQL's DECLARE and CLOSE are different from the SQL
commands DECLARE and CLOSE.
