Re: Pass file into RPGLE via stored procedure?

Justin,

Not sure if you've decided on SQL as the only possible choice here, but... if you're open to other alternatives, maybe consider web services?

The HTTP protocol used in web services should be able to handle this. (Though, I suppose you might have to do a bit more coding than expected if the current crop of tooling can't do the work for you.)

I can't seem to get the compiler to take a BLOB_LOCATOR as an input parameter.

Dcl-pr testBlobSP ;

Booth Martin,
The files exist on a separate server. I'd have to use some protocol (SMB, NFS, FTP) to get them.


Birgitta Hauser,
I need to pass a stream file in its entirety as a parameter of a stored procedure call. I'm open to any method of accomplishing this.
