How can I use a  variable ORDER BY clause in an embedded SQL statement?
This doesn't work...

DString          s           2000A   inz('SELECT * FROM DBfile
D                                     ORDER BY ?')

PREPARE p1 FROM :String

DECLARE DbCsr CURSOR for p1

OPEN DbCsr USING :HostVar1

I set HostVar1 = 1,2,3...etc representing fld1,fld2,fld3...etc.

Hope this helps...bill
