get_blob_from_file error

The goal is to insert a blob into a DDL table. If the insert statement
(see below) is ran via IBM i Access Client Solutions, the record is
written. Attempting the same insert statement via embedded SQL or as a
Stored Procedure called via IBM i Access Client Solutions results in an
error (see below). Has anybody ran into a situation like this? Are there
any ideas of how to resolve it?

*Example:*



insert into mylib.mytable

values(mycharvalue, mydecimalvalue,

get_blob_from_file(myfile,0),

0, ' ', ' ', NULL, current_timestamp, myuser);



*Error:*
