Re: Pass file into RPGLE via stored procedure?

Please excuse my amateurish questions. I can't solve your issue but the problem interests me, so I want to understand the solution when it is offered. Hence these questions.
1) Do you want to access the files, as in read/query the file and get specific records?
2) Or are you looking to add/update/delete records in that file?
3) Would it be possible or useful to bring the files into the IFS?

I have an RPGLE program exposed as a DB2 stored procedure. In my RPGLE code, I go out via QNTC and access files on a Windows share. Our Windows team is shutting down that share so I need another way to get those files. My direction is to bring the files in as part of the stored procedure call. The files are either text or binary (ZIP files). Stored procedures allow a data type of BLOB, but the RPGLE compiler says I can't have BLOB's as parameters.

Any ideas?
