Office objects in DB2 & STRPCCMD

I have been playing with the STRPCCMD to invoke WORD via a vbscript
script, and to pass in substitution values. During my web meanderings
trying to gather information on this integration I came across one
reference which implied that an Office object could be stored in a BLOB
field in DB2, but only by using SQL INSERT. Unfortunately I can't find
this item again, but am desperate for some information on how the BLOB
column contents (say a Word document) can then be rendered on the user's
PC presumably by placing it in the IFS temporarily and firing up WORD
with the path/document name.

I am waiting for the iSeries/Ofice integration book from MC Press, but
would like to create a proof of concept now. Any other references people
know about? I have scanned the usual places.  

I am fighting a civil war at my site trying to convince the boss that we
can do everything we need on the iSeries rather than fragmenting our
department into a myriad of machines & platform. So I need to get this
proof of concept working soon. 

Thanks....
