Don't mix fields (attributes) and variables.
I have lots of difficulties understanding your post as you mix those
two notions.

Why are you putting a <loop> inside of the <cursor> ?

Your flow looks OK, but I'm sure you could make it simpler.
Why do you need to call the main process as a subprocess ? Couldn't
you simply <rewind> the core cursor ?

JP, next time you send me your process definition, could you please
format it ? Indentation will be easier for me to read it and to try to
grasp your idea.
Thanks in advance,
