Re: HEY!!: SQL5011 error when accessing remote (seperate LPAR) DB

[Paul Tuohy <tuohyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stephen,

BLOBs are not recognized by RPG. Therefore, the BLOB field is being 
dropped from the externally defined data structure. Therefore, the data 
structure is invalid for a "SELECT *" from the table.

BTW - better off using a data structure array as opposed to a multiple 
occurrence data structure - no need to set occurrences etc.
