Informix Error -50037
Cause and resolution
The filename specified for blob located in memory 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. If you chose to store the blob in memory, you do not need a filename. If one is included, it will be ignored.
