Is there any way to disable the Sort Ascending/Descending when populating a List Box?

I am building a front end process and I want to use a list box which populates with the Column Titles on a DB2 table instead of the data so that the end user can select the columns they wish to print.

Problem: When the box populates it defaults ascending which is no good. I need the selections in the box to populate in the same order they are populated on the DB2 table.

We are using DevStudio 7.6.4

Thanks
Jeremy

Try something like that:

DEFINE FILE CAR
SORTNUM/I3 = DECODE COUNTRY (
'JAPAN' 1
'ITALY' 2

'FRANCE' 3
'ENGLAND' 4
ELSE 99 );
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY SORTNUM
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
END

Use a procedure to populate the control with code such as -
TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
  SUM FST.NAME
   BY COLNO NOPRINT
   BY NAME
WHERE TBNAME EQ 'car'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END

How about eliminating the BY all together?

Thanks for the reply's and MichaelBalle, looks like I will have to go with your code. We have done this in the past but we built it all in a .txt file and used that to populate the box, didn't know we could do it in a define.

Still this will not be easy seeing how there are more than 80 columns to this report. The end use loves for the data to run from left to eternity. Smiler

I will try this out. Thanks again.
