You must write an ESQL/C > module, callable from 4GL, that will set up the database to write the BLOB Sorry, but isn't it the same as for TEXT data type? For this type of varible you do: DEFINE mytextvar TEXT -- (May be BYTE for this case?) LOCATE mytextvar IN "/tmp/myfile.txt" -- maybe myfile.jpg SELECT mytexcol INTO mytextvar FROM mytable WHERE condition... -- then you free the file with LOCATE mytextvar IN MEMORY > into a local file.
