I'm not sure what "reqd patch" has to do with your question -- a
subject with the word "cursor" would be more appropriate since
that's the topic.  Also, pgsql-patches is supposed to be for "Patches
for new features and bug fixes," so I'm copying pgsql-general and
setting the Reply-To header to that list.

What do you mean "not recognised"?  What exactly are you doing,
what are you expecting to happen, and what actually does happen?
It would be helpful if we could see the exact statements you're
executing and the exact error message you're getting.

Please be more specific than "not working" -- what are you trying
to do and what happens?  Is curs2 a cursor?  I wouldn't expect that
to work since the PL/pgSQL documentation says that the FETCH INTO
target "may be a row variable, a record variable, or a comma-separated
list of simple variables."

The PostgreSQL documentation has examples in the "Cursors" section
of the PL/pgSQL chapter.  If those aren't helpful, then please
describe what you're trying to do so we can provide an example
that's more relevant to the problem.
