Restrictions

The UNDEFINED code page is not allowed for CLOB values.

You must copy a CLOB to a LONGCHAR in order to read or edit it.

The size limit for a CLOB is 1 gigabyte.

You cannot use CLOB values in an index.

You cannot have an array of CLOB fields.

You cannot pass a CLOB as a parameter (but you can pass a temp-table that contains a CLOB field as a parameter).

CLOB fields are only allowed in temp-tables that are NO-UNDO.

You cannot define a local program variable as a CLOB.

You cannot use ASSIGN triggers for a CLOB field.

You cannot use BUFFER-COMPARE on a CLOB field.

The initial value for a CLOB must be the Unknown value (?).

The RAW-TRANSFER statement skips CLOB fields, assigning the Unknown value (?) to the CLOB field in the target record.
