Re: IFS to BLOB and BLOB to IFS without RPG?

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is an sql type called a datalink.  This is basically a reference to
an IFS file.  I tried a little research into it but there does not seem to
be any examples of even simply using a datalink column let alone converting
from a datalink to a blob.
