LOBEDIT primary command
The LOBEDIT primary command starts a new FM/Db2 LOB editor session, in edit mode, for a LOB (CLOB or DBCLOB) column. Edit of a BLOB is not supported. The Db2® object being processed must contain a LOB column.
The command is cursor sensitive. Type the command, move the cursor to the LOB column of interest and press Enter. A File Manager/Db2 LOB editor session, in edit mode, for the LOB column at the cursor position is displayed.
Note: Do not use the SAVE command in a
LOBEDIT session because the LOB data will not be updated in the Db2
table.
The command can also be issued without cursor positioning, in which case parameters may be required:
Syntax
- #n
- A valid reference. The data type for #n must be a CLOB or DBCLOB. #n can be omitted when the Db2® object contains only one LOB column. If #n is omitted when the Db2® object contains multiple LOB columns, FM/Db2 searches for the first selected LOB column, starting at #1.
- row
- A number that identifies a row in the editor session. A row number should not be specified when the command is issued in SNGL mode, the command applies to the currently displayed row.
