The only problem with LOB fields is that they are invisible to the native/RPG Data Management runtime, which means that you are locked into SQL and only SQL for accessing those fields.

It is possible, at least from MI, to jigger native Data Management calls so that they will accept files with LOB fields (I've done it myself), but I've never even heard of anybody successfully accessing the contents of those fields except through SQL.
