F* F* SORT EXAMPLE F* John McKay Aug 2008 F* F* This example illustrates how to use a physical file F* to sort the

records in a subfile. F* F* The user places the cursor on a particular data field and F* presses (in this example) F8 or F9 to sort A or D F* respectively. F* F* RTNCSRLOC must be specified on the subfile header to identify F* the sort field / column. F* F* The physical is cleared in each call. It is then opened to F* load the records, closed, and opened to read the F* records. At end, it is closed. F* F* The records are read from the subfile and written to F* the U1RECORD field of the physical file. The field(s) F* which are to be sorted is(are) written to the index F* portion. The physical file is close and opened. The F* records are read from the physical file and written back to F* the subfile. A data structure is used to store the subfile F* fields on the physical record. F* F* The layout of the physical file is F* R UTY01PR F* U1KEY 32 F* U1RECORD 256 F* K U1KEY F* F* Only the relevant RPG is shown. This example consists of F* - File Definition for the sort file F* - Function perform sort (data definition, call, source) F* - Data definitions for relevant variables F* F* CMD ........ container for QCMDEXC F* CMDLEN ..... length of command string for QCMDEXC F* FSORT ...... sort function F* FSORTAD .... sort sequence - A = ASCENDING, D = DESCENDING F* IN08 ....... F08 from screen to request SORT A F* IN09 ....... F09 from screen to request SORT D F* IN_FAIL .... indicator to return failure status F* IN_SUCCESS . indicator to return success status F* SUBF_REC ... subfile detail record F* S1CHAR ..... character field displayed on subfile record F* S1CYMD ..... date field hidden on subfile record F* S1DATE ..... date field displayed on subfile record F* S1FIELD .... name of field to be sorted on, from RTNCSRLOC F* S1RRN ...... rrn for record in subfile F* S1RRNMAX ... maximum records in the subfile F* UTY01P ..... sort file F* UTY01PR .... record format of sort file F* U1CHAR ..... character field stored in physical file record F* U1CYMD ..... date field stored in physical file record F* U1DATADS ... data structure containing subfile record fields F* U1DATE ..... date field stored in physical file record F* U1NUMERIC .. numeric field stored in physical file record F* ZCMD ....... array with command string for QCMDEXC
