RE: Sub Files.

[Alan Campin <Alan.Campin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem is that there are differences in AS/400 subfiles. Windows based
products are essentially load all subfiles and that has it own problems if
you have ever tried to load a Windows pulldown list with a large number of
entries. Just blows up the program. If it fits, it is easy to sort. 

With AS/400 subfile, you are almost always loading a page at a time (or
should be) unless it is a very small subfile so not everything is available
to sort.

I just have two or more input views and load based on the request, for
example, customer number or order number entered. 

I, also, think the idea of using a data queue or user space is a good,
especially using a user space mapped to a pointer and the QSORT api to sort
but, in any case, you are reloading the subfile.

One might want to sort a subfile to be modern and offer modern features? 
One should be able to click a subfile's heading and have the subfile 
sorted by that column, as is done with most e-mail products for example. 
There are other issues of course, but the need exists.

No, but why would you want to? The sort is based on the input path from 
the
data loaded. At least, that is how I always do it.
