Thanks for your input Rick
I agree, each time a new sort sequence is requested, I will have to
dynamically build, prepare, and run an SQL statement. The speed of
processing the amount of data involved is unknown at this time, so that
does bother me.

I don't know your file sizes and I'm certainly not knocking SQL but it
seems to me that if you don't know the sort columns at run time you will
have to dynamically build, prepare, and run an SQL statement each time a
new sort sequence is requested.  That could be a really slow way to do
it.  I guess you could use the CASE statement but that takes you down
the same path as multiple logicals.

OK, maybe I misstated a little.  I only fill one page at a
time.  When
the user pages down I fill another page, and so on.  If the
user pages
down 10 pages, then ten pages are still filled and I let
the subfile
handle the page up.
Typically, I've found that a user only want s to see one or
two pages
anyway.  If they need to see something farther down the file, they
will enter what it is they want to see.  If they want to
see something
farther up the file they have to enter the starting point
for filling
the subfile.

How do you handle page-up? I think (correct me if I am
wrong) that you
use FIND RELATIVE?
How do you handle position to? That one I am having difficulty in
working out within SQL?

No, I use a one page at a time subfile.  Most of the files
I use this
for have a million records.  I use the sql loop the same
way I would a
loop with READ or READE.

First I build the sql statement based on what the user selects...
Second I do the following, where wrkSQL is the sql
statement, because
the sql statement changes from user to user...
C/exec sql
C+  close csr
C/end-exec

C/exec sql
C+  prepare sqlstmt from :wrkSql
C/end-exec

C/exec sql
C+  open csr
C/end-exec

Then as my sql read loop(for lack of a better term), where
sqlFile is
the data structure based on the externally defined file I
am reading
from.

C/exec sql
C+  fetch next from csr into :sqlFile
C/end-exec
Dow while sqlcod = *zero
   *
   *<subfile logic>
   *
C/exec sql
C+  fetch next from csr into :sqlFile
C/end-exec
enddo

Johnny - thanks for your reply, but I am betting that you do a load
all sub-file, and NOT a page at a time sub-file, which is
what I need
for 15,000 or more records.

I'm pretty sure that what I need to load page at a time is
FIND NEXT
FIND CURRENT FIND RELATIVE for things as Page up, Page Down etc.
but I'm not too sure how to do a position to within the
sub-file using
SQL

I've always just built my sql statement based on what
column(s) the user selects to sort and then just filled the subfile
sorted the way the sql returns the data.
I'm not sure if this is what you are thinking, but it seems to work
really well.

  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
(and
growing) 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.
