   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. 
   HTH

     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.
