Hi

I’m looking for working example of storing more than 65k data in LOB field (Natural 6.3, Adabas 6.1, Windows).

i’ve created table with LOB field with length=0 (LB) and added lob file.  
When i’m creating DDM my “lob field” in DDM gets length=A(253).  
How can i define this field in DDM as dynamic ? Is it possible ?

## I can change length of this field in DDM to grater size (16 k), but when size is grater then 65k i can’t compile my program. I got compileation error: NAT0907 Generation of record buffer failed. Reason code :1:.

TEXT:  
Generation of record buffer failed. Reason code .  
EXPL:  
The maximum size of a view depends on the database which is used.  
During the generation of a database statement, the following error  
situation occurred.  
RC - description:  
4 - For ADABAS/VSAM access statements record buffer size (view size)  
exceeds the maximum of 64K (Mainframe/ OpenVMS/ UNIX/ Windows).  
8 - For DB2/SQL access statements the record buffer size (view size)  
exceeds the maximum of 32K (Mainframe)  
ACTN:  
Reduce the size of the corresponding view.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Robert

Hi,  
unfortunately Natural 6.3.1 cannot do this job. Starting with Natural 6.3.3 use of Adabas Blobs will be possible and supported  
Sorry
