That's one thing I'm still playing around with in my head. I've talked with
the user, and even he's not sure what he wants here.
I'm leaning more towards starting from the beginning of the file (No matter
how its sorted, for each RE-SORT)as I'm pretty sure this will be easier to
code for.

So, then, when the user clicks on the other column, say color, will the
first record of the new subfile be the first record of the field value
in record 1 of the subfile?
Lets say I have a subfile sorted by year and the first displayed record
happens to have a value of "White" in the color column. When I click
the color column does my new subfile start with "White" or with the
lowest color alpha value, say... "Amaretto" or "Blue" or "Cyan"?

Thanks Booth The answer is for the WHOLE data (ALL 15,000 records) to be sorted (ascending/descending) based upon whatever combination of the 7 columns
the
user wants, hence the Dynamic sort. The order by of the SQL statement
will
have to be dynamically built. Alan Shore NBTY, Inc (631) 244-2000 ext. 5019 AShore@xxxxxxxx

What if you present data by, say, year. Then the user clicks the column headed "Color". Do you want the 15 items shown by column "year" to be sorted by color, or so you want all 15000 records sorted by color first, then by year? (Also, clicking the sort column a second time could present the same data in reverse order (ascending vs. descending) Alan Shore wrote:Thanks for your reply Michael, but I think you misunderstand what I am looking for. If my screen is displaying 7 different columns, the user wants to be
able
to sort the data by ANY combination of those columns for example Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, Col5, Col6, Col7 and then (by magic) the same data by Col7, Col6, Col5, Col4, Col3, Col2, Col1 AND THEN Col6 Or maybe Col5, Col6, Col1 This would mean building the ORDER BY within the SQL statement based
upon
the request of the user. So as per my original request if anyone can help me, I am looking for an example of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting Subfiles - Page at a time (with the ability to position to a particular piece of data) However - Michael, I will still look up your suggestion Thanks in advance Alan Shore NBTY, Inc (631) 244-2000 ext. 5019 AShore@xxxxxxxxMichael_Schutte@bobevans.comSent by:Torpg400-l-bounces@ RPG programming on the AS400 /midrange.com iSeries <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx>cc08/03/2006 09:53SubjectAM Re: Even more embedded SQL....Please respond toRPG programmingon the AS400 /iSeries<rpg400-l@midrange.com>Look in the archives for uses of the CASE statement.

Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries <rpg400-l@midrang e.com> Hi All, I have been given a project that requires the need to display, within
a
subfile, the data from 2 separate files with the ability to sort that data from any number of different columns. So I thought to myself, this smacks of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting Subfiles. The unfortunate thing is that the data I have to display is over 15,000 records long(andgrowing) so if anyone can help me, I am looking for an example of embedded SQL and Dynamic Sorting Subfiles - Page at a time (with the ability to position to a particular piece of data)" Some title for an article huh? If anyone has an example of what is required, or could point me in some direction, I would be very grateful.
