If "reverse order" is the only issue then why bother sorting? Just do your for loop for reading the array & loading the subfile from SFLNBR downto 1?

Hi,

Having a hard time with this :
A subfile has to be modified so that it will display the results in the reverse order.
I can't read the data differently before charging the SF so I'm putting it into an array with the idea of sorting it and then copying to the subfile.
Some simplified code :
D wDS DS QUALIFIED D InfoSF LIKEREC ( subfileRecord : *OUTPUT ) D DIM ( 50 ) DESCEND D Index 3I 0 OVERLAY ( InfoSF : *NEXT ) D INZ ( *LOVAL )

The idea is load the arrays instead of the subfile with an index value starting at 1.

Then a SORTA on wDS.Index will also sort wDS.InfoSF. Then I can read through the arrays until I get a *LOVAL in the Index, writing wDS.InfoSF to my subfile.
This will not work as the index seems to be sharing the space occupied by the InfoSF.

When I debug I can see that the index is being updated by the subfile info when the arrays are loaded :
SFRecNo +=1;
wDS.Index ( SFRecNo ) = SFRecNo;
wDS.InfoSF ( SFRecNo ).Field1;
wDS.InfoSF ( SFRecNo ).Field2;



What am I doing wrong?
