You have to have a cursor to return a result set from a stored procedure, so
sql SP doesn't sound like a good choice.
I've never done this in an HLL, but it might be possible.

Here's a link to one of Scott's articles demonstrating BLOB field
declaration within RPG:

And here's a link to documentation for SET RESULT SETS ARRAY
yourLocalStructure FOR 1 ROWS type statement:

I think it's worth a test, if it compiles :)

Subject: Return BLOB from Stored Procedure

All,

I've got a .PDF file in the IFS I want to return as a BLOB column in a
result set from a stored procedure.

Stored procedure can be written in SQL or RPG, it doesn't matter.
(Thus the cross post, sorry David :)

The stored procedure will return just a single row.

Can I do this directly without loading the BLOB column into a temporary
table?

Links and/or examples appreciated.


Thanks!
Charles
