Answer : Check if cursor is empty

Yes, you can reference @@CURSOR_ROWS after opening the cursor.  If it's zero, no rows were found.  Please see "Books Online" for other possible values of @@CURSOR_ROWS and their meanings (especially note that negative values are possible and have a special meaning).
