RE: Subfile "sort" thoughts

I don't think the Sort APIs would work in this case.   They'd be slower
than the OPNQRYF type approach.   If you could get a relatively small
subset of data (small enough that you could store them in a user space or
MODS, etc) you could consider using Sort APIs, but not when working with 9
million records.

Personally, I think a "permanent index" type of solution is your best bet.
A set of logical files or SQL views that don't have to be dynamically
created would be fast.   Or, a user index if the time it takes to copy the
data from the PF to the user index isn't prohibitive...
