This depends on the programming interface you're using.
- Precompiler: use FETCH RELATIVE and FETCH ABSOLUTE
- JDBC: use the methods relative () and absolute () of ResultSet
- ODBC: google for ODBC and relative
- Python: use the methods relative () and absolute () of SapDB_ResultSet
- others: will be based on ODBC and may or may not export this 
functionality.

With some interfaces, you'll have to create the cursor as scrollable.
