Are you inside of a transaction?  How does the WITH or WITHOUT HOLD
function in ECPG?  From the manual:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-declare.html

"WITHOUT HOLD specifies that the cursor cannot be used outside of
the transaction that created it. If neither WITHOUT HOLD nor WITH
HOLD is specified, WITHOUT HOLD is the default."
