You can use distinct with a subselect for example
Select distinct Item from (select Ordno, item from ordertable where
order=:order# order by fieldname)

Paul & Steve,

Thank you! That's the ticket. I don't know why I can't get my RPG brain
to think like that.

Oops. Don't group by max(TimeField)

Select Company, Orderfrom , max(timefield) from Myfile Where userID=:value
Group by Company, Orderfrom Order by max(TimeField);

Here is an alternative using group by

Select Company, Orderfrom , max(timefield) from Myfile Where userID=:value
Group by Company, Orderfrom , max(timefield) Order by max(TimeField);

Subject: SQL Question

Using embedded SQL... I have a "Select Distinct" statement that is
returning
the result I need... However, I need the result set sorted by a field/row
that is NOT in the distinct clause. Is there a way to do this?

Ex:
Select distinct Company, Order from Myfile Where userID=:value Order by
TimeField;

This produces an SQL0214 error...

Is there another way I'm not thinking about?

Thx
