Re: IFS to BLOB and BLOB to IFS without RPG?

There is an sql type called a datalink. This is basically a reference to
an IFS file. I tried a little research into it but there does not seem to
be any examples of even simply using a datalink column let alone converting
from a datalink to a blob.

Is there a method yet to import and export IFS files from LOB type columns
in an SQL table, just using SQL? I've seen methods to transfer both ways
using RPG and embedded SQL. I'd hoped that maybe something like this was
possible with the newish IFS_WRITE_BINARY() procedure, but, the "line" data
doesn't mention that it would accept a LOB type value.
