Hi Dan

Seems this is another prime example of why one does NOT use CL for this kind of thing - it is all so easy in RPGLE. And I suspect CL won't support things like LOBs on DCLF any time soon.

I suggest using DECLARE CURSOR in RPGLE - eezee-peezee!

I have a CREATE TABLE in a CLLE program that queries SYSCOLUMNS for one
record (never more than one record, could be zero) and I need the value
from one field.

I tried DCLF SYSCOLUMNS and did an override to the file created by CREATE
TABLE, but upon doing a RCVF, I got CPF428A (Open failed because "The
format for file TMPSYSCOLS contains one or more large object fields and the
open request did not indicate that large object fields could be processed
by the user of the open."

I did specify AlwGraphic(*Yes) on the DCLF because it wouldn't compile
without it. But I see no option on DCLF or RCVF to process or ignore
"large object fields".

So, I am changing the query in the aforementioned CREATE TABLE to select
the one field I need. Now the table has the field, but since it is created
on the fly, I have nothing at compile time for a DCLF, and I'd really like
to avoid creating a permanent file for this. It would just be freaking
useful to be able to do a SELECT INTO in CL like we can in RPG.

Don't know if the "late Friday after a long week brain fry" is affecting my
memory, but is there a way to do this without creating a permanent file
needed to compile the program?

FWIW: We're on v7r1 with the latest TRs.
