No that's a correct system SP. I'm trying to figure out how to get a count of qualifying rows with sp_describe_cursor_columns. Anyone have any examples of this? Here's an example from BOL that doesn't do this:

USE AdventureWorks;

GO

-- Declare and open a global cursor.

DECLARE abc CURSOR KEYSET FOR

SELECT LastName

FROM Person.Contact

GO

OPEN abc

-- Declare a cursor variable to hold the cursor output variable

-- from sp_describe_cursor_columns.

DECLARE @Report CURSOR

-- Execute sp_describe_cursor_columns into the cursor variable.

EXEC master.dbo.sp_describe_cursor_columns

@cursor_return = @Report OUTPUT,

@cursor_source = N'global', @cursor_identity = N'abc'

-- Fetch all the rows from the sp_describe_cursor_columns output cursor.

FETCH NEXT from @Report

WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)

BEGIN

FETCH NEXT from @Report

END

-- Close and deallocate the cursor from sp_describe_cursor_columns.

CLOSE @Report

DEALLOCATE @Report

GO

-- Close and deallocate the original cursor.

CLOSE abc

DEALLOCATE abc

GO

UPDATE: Oops, I missed the missing "s". Good catch, and you're right, that must be a typo.
