Seems MOVE 0 moves to the end of the cursor.  The FETCH manual says:


              SQL92 allows one to repetatively retrieve the  cur-
              sor at its "current position" using the syntax

              FETCH RELATIVE 0 FROM cursor



              Postgres does not currently support this notion; in
              fact the value zero is reserved  to  indicate  that
              all  rows  should be retrieved and is equivalent to
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
              specifying the ALL keyword.  If the  RELATIVE  key-
              word  has  been used, the Postgres assumes that the
              user intended SQL92 behavior and returns this error
              message.
