I'm playing around with generating a text based IFS file as shown below,
from an example I received a few years ago. The issue I had then, and am
still having now, is that I'd like the resulting IFS file, copied from a
source member in this case as a test, to be ASCII, rather than EBCDIC
(sp?). Does anyone know a way to control the conversion differently?

dcl-s FromBLOB SQLTYPE(BLOB_File);

dcl-s IFSFile varchar(256) inz('/home/darren/BLOBFILE.txt');
dcl-s FromFile varchar(256)
inz('/QSYS.LIB/DARREN.lib/QRPGLESRC.file/TSTIFS.mbr');

FromBLOB_Name=%trim(FromFile);
FromBLOB_NL=%len(%trim(FromBLOB_Name));
FromBLOB_FO=SQFRD;

toBLOB_Name=%trim(IFSFile);
toBLOB_NL=%len(%trim(toBLOB_Name));
toBLOB_FO=SQFOVR;

exec sql set :toBLOB=:FromBLOB;

return;
