RE: Help Systems/ASC/Sequel--Hiding a sort column

["Roger Harman" <RHarman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do it all the time.

Select THIS, THAT, OTHER, wdata(rand(136912)) name(sort) from SOMEFILE
order by sort

Yes I did guys, and guess what, it does not allow a hidden column to be
included in the ORDER BY list.

I don't think there's a way around it, but what I did is that I just ran
EXECUTE  OUTPUT(WORKFILE) in the proper order, and then did another view
over that one without any ORDER BY clause.

If you find something less "kludgey" let me know... 

Thanks

Have you tried WDATA?

For those who use Help System's "Sequel" product --Paul?--refresh me on
the way to hide a column that is included in the Sort list?

They're working on some issue with the system server jobs that the
ViewPoint uses, so at this time a green screen answer would be nice.
