Problem Declaring Cursors

I am entering the following:


declare @iAbsenceCategoryID int;

declare @dEntitlementRenewal datetime;

declare @iAbsenceUserID int;

declare @iMinutesUsed int;

declare @iMinutesNotUsed int;

declare @iEntitlement int;



declare cr cursor forward_only

for

select iabsencecategoryid,

dentitlementrenewal

from TblTAAbsenceCategories

open cr;

fetch next from cr into

@iAbsenceCategoryID, @dEntitlementRenewal

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

fetch next from cr into

@iAbsenceCategoryID, @dEntitlementRenewal

if (DATEPART("Month",(GETDATE()))) = (DATEPART("Month", (@dEntitlementRenewal))) and (DATEPART("Day",(GETDATE()))) = (DATEPART("Day",(GETDATE())))

declare usercr cursor FORWARD_ONLY for

select iAbsenceUserID from TblTAAbsenceUsers

where iAbsenceCategoryID = @iAbsenceCategoryID

fetch next from usercr into

@iAbsenceUserID

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

fetch next from usercr into

@iAbsenceUserID

select @iMinutesUsed = sum(iMinutesRequested)

from tblTAAbsenceHolidays

where iAbsenceUserID = 13 and iAbsenceActionID != 2

select @iEntitlement = iHolidayEntitlement from TblTAAbsenceUsers where iAbsenceUserID = 13;

set @iMinutesNotUsed = (@iEntitlement) - (@iMinutesUsed);

update TblTAAbsenceUsers

set iMinutesNotUsed = @iMinutesNotUsed

where iAbsenceUserID = @iAbsenceUserID;

END;

END;

close usercr;

close cr;

DEALLOCATE usercr;

DEALLOCATE cr;


and i get the following error message:


Msg 16916, Level 16, State 1, Line 26

A cursor with the name 'usercr' does not exist.

Msg 16916, Level 16, State 1, Line 57

A cursor with the name 'usercr' does not exist.

Msg 16916, Level 16, State 1, Line 60

A cursor with the name 'usercr' does not exist.


I cant see why its not allowing me to declare the usercr cursor, can anyone tell me where im going wrong? thanks!
