Inserting BLOB BYTE value in table

I've searched the IIUG archive on inserting BLOBs in tables. I'd like to do this on IDS 7.3 on NT. I downloaded the UPDBLOB ESQL/C program from the archive, but then realized I needed to have it compiled in Dynamic-4GL and wasn't sure how to do that. I've looked at the LOCATE statement in 4GL but it looks that statement is only useful for writing blobs from the database to disk (please correct me if I'm wrong there). I want to show pictures for an inventory item using Dynamic-4GL and i think I can do it except I don't know how to get the data in the database to begin with. (This is for a demo, not production). I tried to load a .bmp file using load command in dbaccess on NT but it gave the message that it's not in proper ASCII hexadecimal format. How can I do this on NT? Thanks!
