I tend to create the cursor and use flags to append to the existing cursor.

While I'm poking away at this, I thought I'd check with the collective wisdom. I've found a situation where I want to take advantage of CURSORTOXML and XMLTOCURSOR. The issue I'm running into is if the cursor being converted to XML has fields with NULL values in the first record, this appears to affect the resulting XMLTOCURSOR conversion. Any NULL columns will be missing from the result cursor even if later rows in the XML contain values. The hacky workaround seems to be I have to make sure that the first record has non-null values for all columns I want in the cursor. Anyone have any other magic tricks?
