if (ic_flag == 1) {
/*only select those non-IC/Spyder nodes that has full update set*/
EXEC SQL DECLARE full_dyn_node CURSOR FOR
SELECT node_name FROM NODE
WHERE dynamic_community = 'f' AND ic_flag='n' AND machine_type!=22
AND node_id != 0 AND NODE_NAME != :nodename;
}
else{
EXEC SQL DECLARE full_dyn_node CURSOR FOR
SELECT node_name FROM NODE
WHERE dynamic_community = 'f'
AND node_id != 0 AND NODE_NAME != :nodename; (line#493)
}

the above code generates the following error:

The compiler complains:
../subapi.pgc:493: ERROR: cursor full_dyn_node already defined

since its envelop'd in an if/else clause, shouldn't it work?
