Re: CLOB fields

James,
There is ZERO license requirements for iACS anymore.  None.  Well, at least
on current versions of the OS.
I know you have your own 5250 product and perhaps that is why you eschew
iACS.  There's nothing stopping you from using Run SQL Scripts and continue
to use your own 5250 product.

"Beginning with version 1.1.9.1 an  IBM i Access Family license is no
longer required to use  the 5250 emulation and Data Transfer features."
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-access-client-solutions

There is a difference between
7.4 license
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4.0?topic=solutions-license-information
and beyond
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5.0?topic=solutions-license-information
IDK if they just stopped updating the 7.4 documentation and you can use
newer versions of iACS on it without the license.  I don't see why not.
After all, your 5250 product doesn't care about the license, right?  So why
should the newer versions of iACS check based on os version either?  It
might not.
And, even when a license was required it wasn't for Run SQL scripts.  It
was just for 5250, data transfer and the now deprecated iAccess for Web.
