RE: rpg Embedded SQL: date/week order by

From what I can see

You are grouping by week
So week 52 in 2015 will be grouped with week 52 in 2014 and week 52 in 2014 etc
The you are trying to sort by date
Do you want to group in this manner?

Subject: Re: rpg Embedded SQL: date/week order by

Here is the prepared statement I would like to use. It does not
compile. It will compile & run if I order by week, but that gives me
the issue of this thread.

'select'
+ ' Week(Dec((19000000 + XDTE), 8, 0) concat ''000000''),'
+ ' XLOC, XAQT, XORD, XQTY'
+ ' from FILEA'
+ ' join FILEB on XITM = XITM2 and XDTE = XDTE2'
+ ' where XITM = ?'
+ ' group by Week(Dec((19000000 + XDTE), 8, 0)'
+ ' concat ''000000'')'
+ ' order by XDTE desc';
