Question : How do I get my cursor value to a variable....

I am trying to assign the cursor value to a variable so I can do an insert using it. The problem I have as soon as I try to do fetch into @variable name i break the loop and it gives me the last one in my list. Below is the code:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
