RE: Sorting

We use a EXCSQLSTM command that came from one of the mags years ago.  (it
uses the qmqry as suggested in another post).
EXCSQLSTM 'INSERT INTO FILEB (SELECT * FROM FILEA ORDER BY ' *CAT  &KEYFLD1
*CAT ', ' *CAT &KEYFLD2 *CAT ' )'
Beat the OPNQRYF, CPYFRMQRYF combo hands down.


 -----Original Message-----

Why not use SQL?  It's lends itself to being built on the fly and is less
error prone than an OPNQRYF statement.  The performance would be about the
same I think.
