Testing for cursor's existence

How is it possible to test at the beginning of a stored procedure if a
cursor I want to declare already exists? (So I don't cause an error by
declaring it).
Thanks

See CURSOR_STATUS() in Books Online, but if the cursor should only
exist within the stored procedure, then you can declare it as LOCAL to
avoid name problems.

Use local rather than global cursors then you won't have to worry.
Avoid using cursors at all where you can.
