I use the following technique to move data from IFS files to Blobs.


// BlobTable DDL
CREATE TABLE BlobTable (
Identity BIGINT ,
IFSData BLOB (2G)
);
-- the identity is our connection between the blob and the associated data



// SQLRPGLE code snippet

// IFS to BLOB
D Identity S 20I 0
D IFSFILE S SQLTYPE(BLOB_FILE)
D IFSPath S 1024A INZ('/path/to/your/file')

/FREE
IFSFILE_FO = SQFRD;
IFSFILE_NAME = %TRIMR(IFSPath);
IFSFILE_NL = %LEN(%TRIMR(IFSPath));
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO BlobTable
VALUES(:Identity, :SS);
/END-FREE



// BLOB to IFS
D Identity S 20I 0
D IFSFILE S SQLTYPE(BLOB_FILE)
D IFSPath S 1024A INZ('/path/to/your/file')

/FREE
IFSFILE_FO = SQFOVR;
IFSFILE_NAME = %TRIMR(IFSPath);
IFSFILE_NL = %LEN(%TRIMR(IFSPath));
EXEC SQL SELECT IFSData INTO :IFSFile
FROM BlobTable
WHERE Identity = :Identity;
/END-FREE
