Can anyone help?  I have an RPG pgm that allows the user to select up to 3 sort 
fields for their data of 8 possible choices.  I had thought the best way (and 
easiest to maintain) would be to use parameters for the KEYFLD that would just 
populate the names of the fields that define the sort.  When the program runs, 
the OPNQRYF returns no records.  Here is an example of what the statements look 
like in the CL pgm.

OVRDBF     FILE(SA0025WK) SHARE(*YES) 

IF         COND((&OPT1 *NE '1') *AND (&OPT2 *NE '1') +  
             *AND (&OPT3 *NE '1')) THEN(OPNQRYF +       
             FILE((SA0025WK)) KEYFLD((&SFLD1) (&SFLD2) +
             (&SFLD3)))                                 
                                                        
IF         COND(&OPT1 *EQ '1') THEN(OPNQRYF +           
             FILE((SA0025WK)) KEYFLD((&SFLD1 *DESCEND) +
             (&SFLD2) (&SFLD3)))                        

When that didn't work, I created an RPG program (after seeing some suggestions 
to others problems) that would create the entire OPNQRYF and execute that 
statement.  Once again, I didn't get any records when the following RPG program 
tried to read the file. When I debug the RPG pgm, the OPNQRYF statement looks 
perfect but still has problems.  Is there something I am missing?  Has anyone 
done something like this before?

Here is the pgm that creates the OPNQRYF in RPG:
