Kalyan,
The default sort, as defined in the table properties, is fine. It's when the user sorts it differently by clicking a column that I want to retain after a table refresh. The Change Field works but does not allow you to specify the number of rows to return. The PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH does allow you to specify the number of rows to return but resets the sort order to what is defined in the table properties. The goal is to prevent ARS from resetting the sort during a table refresh with the PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH command.

I hope that will work. Regards, Kalyan.

With PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK, can you specify the number of rows to return?

I hope there is a work-around. Here is the issue: A user clicks on a table field column in order to sort by that column. The user then clicks a Refresh button. When workflow uses the Change Field - Refresh Table Field command the table field remains sorted by the column the user had selected. When workflow uses the Run Process - PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH command the sort order is reset to the default. Which means the user has to click the column again to sort by that column. Is there any way to stop ARS from resetting the default sort order for the table field? BTW, I use the PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH command so that users can determine how many rows to return. For example, on one of my screens I have a radio button that reads "Show up to: o 100 o 250 o 500 o 750 o 1000" with 100 as the default. For most searches 100 is enough, yet users have the option to show more as needed. The full Run Process command is PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH 536870938 1 $zTmpInt1$.
