Thanks to all who responded to my CLOB query.

Does anybody recall anything about datalink fields, and how to plug a value into one of them from iACS "Run SQL Scripts"?

About all I can remember is their existence, and that they contain URLs. The doc at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5.0?topic=types-datalink-values doesn't really tell me much that I didn't already remember from 20 years ago.
