Re: UDTF returning Binary column to iSeries

Thanks for the reply.

Have any ideas then how to convert or cast a byte[] to a Blob?
I've tried multiple ways but so far no luck and I don't think I want to go 
from byte array to string to Blob.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank You
Ron

Here's a snippet of my code:

import COM.ibm.db2.app.*;
import COM.ibm.db2.app.Blob;
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
//import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex;
//import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
//import org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException;

  public void history(

    // input parameter(s)

    String              parmWhere,

    // output columns

        String          Transactioncode,
        String          OrderNumber,
        String          ItemNumber,
        String          Warehouse,
        Blob            TokenBlob)      // Have tried String

  throws Exception {

        byte [] TokenUsedToUniquelyIdentifyRecord;

String sql="SELECT " +
          "Transactioncode, " +
          "OrderNumber, " +
          "ItemNumber, " +
          "Warehouse, " +
          "TokenUsedToUniquelyIdentifyRecord, " +
  "FROM Inventory.dbo.Inventory_History " +
  (parmWhere.equals("")?"":"WHERE " + parmWhere); 

// Read the SQL Server "binary" column as a byte array in Java then 
convert or cast it to a DB2 Blob
// Type mismatch: Cannot convert from byte[] to a Blob
TokenBlob = rs.getBytes("TokenUsedToUniquelyIdentifyRecord"); 
 set(58, TokenBlob);
