That is a known topic.
As reference manual tells us a <named_select_statement> is known,
looking like this
select cursorname (<select_list>) from ...
doing the same as
declare cursorname for select <select_list> from ...

This is known because of downward-compatibility.

Starting with 7.5.01 this confusing named_select_statement does not exist any more.
