For Loop Cursor

I am trying to write a for loop cursor, and this is my code


DECLARE
slip_Update CURSOR FOR
SELECT * FROM SlipsTEST, SlipdetailsTEST
WHERE SlipsTEST.SlipIdOld = SlipdetailsTEST.SlipIdOld
FOR UPDATE;
BEGIN
OPEN slip_Update;
FOR slip_Update IN slip_Update
LOOP
UPDATE SlipdetailsTEST
SET SlipdetailsTEST.SNO = SlipsTEST.SNO
WHERE CURRENT OF slip_Update;
END LOOP;
CLOSE slip_Update;
END;



Can any one tell me what is wrong with my cursor? I run it in SQL Query Analyzer and it always shows this message:


Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 9
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FOR'.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 14
Line 14: Incorrect syntax near 'LOOP'.
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'END'.

The following is how I do cursors on MS SQL Server 2000. According to my experience:
1. you need to specify the columns you're putting into the cursor
2. You need variables for each of the cursor's fields
3. The fetching and looping structure I outlined below.


For Example:
+---------------------------------------------------+

-- declare the cursor
DECLARE slip_Update CURSOR FOR
SELECT x, y, z
FROM SlipsTEST , SlipdetailsTEST
WHERE SlipsTEST.SlipIdOld = SlipdetailsTEST.SlipIdOld

-- declare what to put the cursor variable into
DECLARE @x int
DECLARE @y varchar(25)
DECLARE @Z datetime

-- Open cursor
OPEN slip_Update

-- Go to first cursor item (make sure fields same order)
FETCH NEXT FROM slip_Update INTO @x, @y, @z

-- Loop through each item (loops between BEGIN and END)
WHILE @@Fetch_Status=0

BEGIN
-- do whatever code you want with the variables here
UPDATE SlipdetailsTEST
SET SlipdetailsTEST.SNO = @x

-- go to next cursor item
FETCH NEXT FROM slip_Update INTO @x, @y, @z

END

-- clean up or if you run this again you'll get errors
Close slip_Update
Deallocate slip_Update

+---------------------------------------------------+
Hope this helps! Like I said, though, it works for me with MS SQL Server 2000 so I'm not sure if it will work in your environment.
