Informix Error -50036: The filename specified for blob located in a temporary file was ignored.
Cause and resolution
The filename specified for blob located in a temporary file was ignored.
The ixBlob constructor generates this message. When you set the location of a blob (either an ixText or ixByte object) with the ixBlob::setLocation() member function, you can specify whether the data should be in memory, in a file of your choosing or in a temporary file that is created locally. NewEra names temporary files, and if you include a filename with this option, it will be ignored.
