• Hi and welcome to the forums. Why do you need a cursor for this? From what you posted I think you can replace the entire body of your stored proc with this.

    update SNLunchSevereNeeds

    set HHFKOverride = 1,

    HHFKProcess = 1,

    HHFKPayFrom = 7

    from SNLunchSevereNeeds

    where SystemCertificationID in

    (

    select SC.SystemCertificationID

    from SNSystemCertification SC

    INNER JOIN SNLunchSevereNeeds LS ON SC.SystemCertificationID = LS.SystemCertificationID

    where FiscalYear = @FiscalYear

    and LS.IsActive = 1

    )
