The number of index cursors allowed.

Use Index Cursors (-c) to specify the number of index place holders, or cursors, for a Progress session. Each active FOR EACH and FIND NEXT loop uses one index cursor for each index Progress is using. A cursor takes 64 bytes. If you need more index cursors, Progress displays the following error message:

SYSTEM ERROR: Too few index cursors. Increase -c parameter. 

NOTE: The -c parameter has a different meaning when you connect to an ORACLE database. For more information, see the Progress DataServer for ORACLE Guide.
