So what you in a such situation like this is this:
select * from master..sysmessages where error in (16955, 16945)
You could also have looked up the errors in Books Online, by simply
searching for them. This could give you the bonus that there might be
entire topic to troubleshoot the problem. I would not expect that in
this case, though.
These are the messages:
16945 The cursor was not declared.
16955 Could not create an acceptable cursor.
I would guess that 16945 is a consequence of 16955.
Apparently there is some code out there where the cursor declaration
fails, and where there is no error handling, so that execution continues.
Note that this may not have to be a stored procedure. Hypothetically
it could be a server-side cursor initiated by some client API as well.
In any case, it's a problem specific to that process, and it is not that
your server is about to go belly-up.
