Re: SORT API results

The APIs work when used correctly, therefore I'd say you're using them incorrectly. That's about as much information as I can provide based on the amount of detail you've provided. Obviously, I can't tell you what you've coded wrong unless I can see the code.

However, I have some suggestions:

a) When I've used QLGSORT to sort a subfile, I did not need to use QLGSRTIO. I did it purely with QLGSORT. I'm curious as to why you're using QLGSRTIO?

b) I strongly recommend against using QLGSORT. There are much easier, and also better performing ways to sort data. the SORTA RPG op-code is one. The qsort() API is another. My benchmarks have shown those two methods to be MUCH faster than the other alternatives (QLGSORT, data queues, user index, etc, were much slower.)

I'm attempting to utilize the sort API's QLGSORT and QLGSRTIO to re-sort a
subfile upon user request. I setup the sort request by calling the QLGSORT
API, then retrieve the results by calling the QLGSRTIO API. However, the
QLGSRTIO API is returning garbage for results. Neither API is returning an
error.

Any insight would be very helpful.
