Declare LOB host variables in ILE RPG applications that use SQL

ILE RPG does not have variables that correspond to the SQL data types for LOBs (large objects).

To create host variables that can be used with these data types, use the SQLTYPE keyword. The SQL precompiler replaces this declaration with an ILE RPG language structure in the output source member. LOB declarations can be either standalone or within a data structure.
