Good day everyone.

I want to create an SQL table with a single column to hold a JSON
document. My RPG code's variable that holds it previously is 64512 bytes
long which is the maximum data queue buffer length.

When trying to create the table, I want to give that single column a type
of VARCHAR(64512) but it turns out that this gives me a compilation error
saying that the attribute for the column is not valid. Surprisingly for me
I learned that in SQL contexts, a VARCHAR may not be larger than 32000
bytes. My JSON strings could be larger than 32000 bytes, so I need to give
more room to it.

Then I tried to use a CLOB(64512) type in the creation of the table to hold
that buffer. But this doesn't work either.

What is the correct SQLTYPE that I should use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.
