RE: Arrays

Doug,
As others have suggested, I feel, the embedded sql will reduce the
amount of work involved in this scenario.  You could use the dynamic sql
and open cursors with condition and fetch result set into the subfile.
The code for the total can also be done in 1 aggregate statement than
several rpg codes.  On a work file, the creation of the file and I/O
could be more CPU intense than an embedded sql. 
Thanks,
Sudha

I have not worked with embedded sql to this point.
