Looks better :) But be aware that you cannot exceed "select" count 10 in one SQL (seems OK here except column name should be same in all selects). Also as I remember you collect other lenghts too. So why not bypass "and length" and include length in selected fields. Would look like :

SELECT data1.bundle as Total12, length ;
FROM lumber!data1 into cursor bundata;
WHERE siz = szValue and grade = gdValue;
union all;
SELECT data2.bundle as Total12, length;
FROM lumber!data2;
WHERE siz = szValue and grade = gdValue ;
union all;
.... ;
into cursor myCursor ;
order by length
