CURSORS - Please help urgent.

The follow code gives me Error:

DECLARE CURSOR_GET_ALL_CONFERENCE_RECORDS CURSOR FOR Select
ConferenceType,CallManagerId,ClusterId,DestConversationId,AppConfId,Fina
lDestination FROM Tmp_Conference;

OPEN CURSOR_GET_ALL_CONFERENCE_RECORDS;
FETCH FROM CURSOR_GET_ALL_CONFERENCE_RECORDS INTO lv_ConfId,
li_CallManagerId, lv_ClusterId, li_DestConversationId, lv_AppConfId,
lv_FinalDestination;
-- Close and de-allocate cursor
CLOSE CURSOR_GET_ALL_CONFERENCE_RECORDS;

Error is as follows:
plpgsql: ERROR during compile of proc_conferencesummary near line 212
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "OPEN"

Please comment what can be wrong.

Yes, because psql's default behavior is to try to connect to the DB with
the same name as your user name.  That doesn't mean that such a DB is
guaranteed to exist, or even that anything is going to try to create it
for you.  It's just a default behavior that people have found handy.
