Title: RE: BLOB's on AS/400?

As part of V4R4 you can access BLOBs, CLOBs, and DBLOBs. Bad news is you can not use DDS. You must use SQL.Many people are getting ready to use them, but I know of no one who is actually doing it right now. A good resource is the online IBM manuals.

Subject: BLOB's on AS/400?

I'm sure it's been asked and answered, but here goes...

Part of our e-commerce strategy may be to 'store' the document created by
the user as a BLOB.  I'm not finding any documentation on if/when/how the
AS/400 will support this. 

Anybody have the answer?

Thanks,
JN
