I tried playing with this some more.  Again the problem is how do I put 
the PDF into a BLOB field?

I thought of creating a temporary file:

CREATE TABLE ROB/TESTLINK( 
  MYCHAR CHAR (1 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, 
  MYLINK DATALINK LINKTYPE URL NO LINK CONTROL NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT
  ) 

INSERT INTO ROB/TESTLINK VALUES('A', 
dlvalue('file://gdisys/ROB/dominochatsept12.pdf'))

CREATE TABLE ROB/TESTBLOB( 
  MYCHAR CHAR ( 1) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
  MYBLOB BLOB NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT 
  ) 

> INSERT INTO ROB/TESTBLOB SELECT MYCHAR, MYLINK FROM rob/testlink
  Value for column or variable MYBLOB not compatible.
> INSERT INTO ROB/TESTBLOB
  SELECT MYCHAR, cast(MYLINK as blob)
  FROM rob/testlink
  CAST from DATALINK to BLOB not supported.
> INSERT INTO ROB/TESTBLOB 
  SELECT MYCHAR, blob(MYLINK) 
  FROM rob/testlink 
  Argument 1 of function BLOB not valid.
