You have to define: SQLTYPE (CLOB: YourLen)
YourVariable SQLTYPE(CLOB: 100000);
The SQL Precompiler will generate a datastructure out of this variable:
DCL-DS YourVariable;
YourVariable_Len Uns(10);
YourVariable_Data Char(YourLen);
END-DS;
When accessing the CLOB data with SQL, you need to specify the Variable Name
(YOURVARIABLE).
When accessing the CLOB data with SQL, you need to use the Data Structure
Subfields, i.e. YOURVARIABLE_DATA.

Subject: SQLTYPE(CLOB:length) Issue
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.
