Re: [Sort records in subfile]

[Raja Rajendren <kgrajen@xxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem, what you have it now?

I can provide you some solutions for that and it depends up on the nature of
your project and requirements.

1. What u have to do is just create different LFs for the different sorting
you need and what you have to do is before showing the subfile you can ask the
user to select the sort mode he like to view.  Once he selects the mode then
you have to call the particular programs, which uses appropriate LF to build
the subfile.  Though this process is a round up process, its very clear to
program and understand.  (Hard Coding)

2. You u are good in OPNQRYF then u can use opnqry file to open the file in
certain keyfield sequence overrding the database in shared mode and from the
CL program you can call the RPG program, which handles the subfile.  Its is a
very very easy method but here also U need to have a scrren for sort mode
selection before showing the subfile.

3. You can acheive the same through programming EQUAL subfile.  But its too
tedious and time consuming process.

I would like to suggest you to go for simple, clear and efficent ideas.  If
its desprate then u need to program.

Any clarifications, pls welcome!

Rajen. :-)
