Re: BLOBs

I don't know which release / TR brought us HTTP_GET in the QSYS2 schema - but if you don't have it installed, you can still use SYSTOOLS.HTTPGETBLOB - it's a Java based function and much slower and HTTPS support has it's quirks - but it still works.

James,
According to https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6486889 you can find
out what schema HTTP_GET_BLOB is in, and, what OS level and PTF levels are
required.
