If the purpose is to sort the subfile, which has a limit of 9,999 items, it may be easier and perform faster if the subfile data is entered into an array, and sorted with sorta. Then the subfile can be easily loaded from the array. Just a thought.

Thanks for the feedback Scott. I was following some documentation I found on
another site to implement the QLGSORT API, but was unable to get it to work
outside of their example. I think I'll take your advise and use the sort()
method.

The APIs work when used correctly, therefore I'd say you're using them
incorrectly. That's about as much information as I can provide based on
the amount of detail you've provided. Obviously, I can't tell you what
you've coded wrong unless I can see the code.

However, I have some suggestions:

a) When I've used QLGSORT to sort a subfile, I did not need to use
QLGSRTIO. I did it purely with QLGSORT. I'm curious as to why you're
using QLGSRTIO?

b) I strongly recommend against using QLGSORT. There are much easier,
and also better performing ways to sort data. the SORTA RPG op-code is
one. The qsort() API is another. My benchmarks have shown those two
methods to be MUCH faster than the other alternatives (QLGSORT, data
queues, user index, etc, were much slower.)

I'm attempting to utilize the sort API's QLGSORT and QLGSRTIO to re-sort
a
subfile upon user request. I setup the sort request by calling the
QLGSORT
API, then retrieve the results by calling the QLGSRTIO API. However, the
QLGSRTIO API is returning garbage for results. Neither API is returning
an
error.

Any insight would be very helpful.
