An existing cursor can be opened or closed by the OPEN or CLOSE statement as shown in the following sample script:

DECLARE
  CURSOR c_list IS SELECT * FROM countries;
  CURSOR t_list IS SELECT * FROM employees
    WHERE employee_id = 100;
BEGIN
  OPEN c_list;
  OPEN t_list; 
  CLOSE c_list;
  CLOSE t_list; 
END;
