The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I have been asked to order a sub-file by a date, and plan to write
to an array instead of the
subfile record until it fills, sort the array, and then load the
subfile from this array.
1) Convert to RPG IV. Why leave it in RPG III? Any significant
compatibility issues were resolved a long time ago and it is nuts to
make updates to an RPG III program - the language has been obsolete
for 12+ years.
2) Read this article
http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/8554p1.aspx
3) Once converted use either an Externally described DS or a DS
defined with LikeRec of the subfile output record format. Add the DIM
keyword to the DS to define it as an array.
4) Populate the subfile then add the name of the DS as the result
field on the Write to the subfile.
5) To sort the subfile you have multiple options - you can use SORTA
if you define the DS the right way - but qsort offers more flexibility.
