<div class="section"><p>All the function provided by DB2 LOB support is applicable to UDTs whose
source type are LOBs. Therefore, you have used LOB file reference variables
to assign the contents of the file into the UDT column. You have not used
the cast function to convert values of BLOB type into your e-mail type. This
is because DB2 allows
you to assign values of the source type of a distinct type to targets of the
distinct type.</p>
