FYI: LOB Locators in RPG and i 6.1 upgrade from V5R3 problem.

We upgraded our development box to 6.1 and a program started failing with "SQL7034 - LOB locators are not allowed with COMMIT(*NONE)." this statement:

Exec Sql
select evtrandf, evtrandata into
:evtrandf, :trandataclob:trandataclobnullind
from xmpeventd
where evtrandid = :evtrandid;

To fix the problem, as the program itself could not be run under commitment control, I added the "with ur" isolation clause:

Exec Sql
select evtrandf, evtrandata into
:evtrandf, :trandataclob:trandataclobnullind
from xmpeventd
where evtrandid = :evtrandid
with ur;

This fixed the problem.

In my research I found that the sql should have failed as far back as V4R4, I have no idea why it didn't but 6.1 now does.
