RE: Pass file into RPGLE via stored procedure?

I found a possible thread that may help by doing a web search on: "iseries pass file a parameter"
One promising hit is in archive.midrange.com: "Passing a file as a parameter to a second Program"

Subject: Pass file into RPGLE via stored procedure?

I have an RPGLE program exposed as a DB2 stored procedure. In my RPGLE code, I go out via QNTC and access files on a Windows share. Our Windows team is shutting down that share so I need another way to get those files. My direction is to bring the files in as part of the stored procedure call. The files are either text or binary (ZIP files). Stored procedures allow a data type of BLOB, but the RPGLE compiler says I can't have BLOB's as parameters.

Any ideas?
