I have a CLOB field in DB2. I have huge text stored in that field for each record (upto 100000 chars). I am trying to find out of a way of generating reports from it without losing the formatting of the content in the text. Does anybody know of a way of doing it without running into webfocus limits ? (such as 32k total maximum record length .. etc).

Hi John,

Has this issue regarding CLOB field in DB2 been resolved?

Here are a few topics from Information Builders' online documents which may be of interest:

You will need to an InfoResponse userid/password to access these documents.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Smiler

Kerry

Thx for the reply. There are limitations on individual field/record lengths in webfocus procedure code and there are limitations in field/record lengths in master files. So I decided to split my CLOB field into 24 fields in DB2 in the form of three DB2 views with 8 fields each of size 4011 chars ... and finally now it is working .... phew ....
