+.SH "NAME"
+MOVE \- position a cursor
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+MOVE [ \fIdirection\fR ] [ FROM | IN ] \fIcursor_name\fR
+
+where \fIdirection\fR can be one of:
+
+ NEXT
+ PRIOR
+ FIRST
+ LAST
+ ABSOLUTE \fIcount\fR
+ RELATIVE \fIcount\fR
+ \fIcount\fR
+ ALL
+ FORWARD
+ FORWARD \fIcount\fR

+ BACKWARD ALL
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBMOVE\fR
+repositions a cursor without retrieving any data\&.
+\fBMOVE\fR
+works exactly like the
+\fBFETCH\fR
+command, except it only positions the cursor and does not return rows\&.
+.PP
+The parameters for the
+\fBMOVE\fR
+command are identical to those of the
+\fBFETCH\fR
+command; refer to
+\fBFETCH\fR(7)
+for details on syntax and usage\&.
+.SH "OUTPUTS"
+.PP
+On successful completion, a
+\fBMOVE\fR
+command returns a command tag of the form
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+MOVE \fIcount\fR
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+The
+\fIcount\fR
+is the number of rows that a
+\fBFETCH\fR
+command with the same parameters would have returned (possibly zero)\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+BEGIN WORK;
+DECLARE liahona CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM films;
+
+\-\- Skip the first 5 rows:
+MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
+MOVE 5
+
+\-\- Fetch the 6th row from the cursor liahona:
+FETCH 1 FROM liahona;
+ code | title | did | date_prod | kind | len
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+ P_303 | 48 Hrs | 103 | 1982\-10\-22 | Action | 01:37
+(1 row)
+
+\-\- Close the cursor liahona and end the transaction:
+CLOSE liahona;
+COMMIT WORK;

+.RE

+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+There is no
+\fBMOVE\fR
+statement in the SQL standard\&.
