Re: ORDER BY embedded sql

It can simply be added to the sql statement.
This is an example of building a dynamic Select stmt
C* BUILD SQL STRING
c eval str='Select dhid,dhdat8,dhtime from dhst -
c where dhid = ' +
c quote + %trim(selid) + quote
c if seldat8 <> ' '
c eval str=%trim(str) +
c ' and dhdat8 >=' + seldat8
c endif
c eval str=%trim(str) +
c ' Order by dhid,dhdat8,dhtime'

Do you already the example of PREPARE and DECLASE CURSOR
for this?

Subject: ORDER BY embedded sql

I see in an example of our stored procedures that you can do an ORDER BY to
sequence the file.
But when I look in the IBM manual for embedded SQL, I do not see ORDER BY.
If I want to sequence a file using embedded RPG, do I use ORDER BY? If not
then how do I accomplish this?
Thanks in Advance.
