Hi James,
as I never used them, I don't recall - but tha docs are fairly clear:
DLVALUE(
'http://xxx.com/resource-url',
'URL',
'Data Link Comment'
)
This would result in a data-link value for an INSERT or UPDATE.

Thanks to all who responded to my CLOB query.
Does anybody recall anything about datalink fields, and how to plug a
value into one of them from iACS "Run SQL Scripts"?
About all I can remember is their existence, and that they contain URLs.
The doc at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5.0?topic=types-datalink-values doesn't
really tell me much that I didn't already remember from 20 years ago.
