Is there a data type besides VARCHAR in DB2/400 -or- DB2 for i5/OS (For

CLOBs are the only thing I can think of - but unless things have changed you can't actually get at them directly in RPG, so depending on how you intend to build the application...

I guess an SQL function could be written to retrieve the data in 32K chunks.
