   INTRODUCTION
   ============

   LOBDEMO connects to the SAMPLE database supplied with IBM DB2
   Universal Database and illustrates the use of LOB LOCATOR and
   VALUES function to retreive data from a LOB and copy it to a
   host variable.


   SOURCE FILES
   ============

   LOBDEMO.CBL
   SQLCA.CPY

   REQUIREMENTS
   ============

   LOBDEMO is written to operate with the DB2 SAMPLE database supplied
   with various versions of DB2 Universal Database V5 software products.
   You must have been granted BIND/ADD authority on this database and
   SELECT authority on the EMP_RESUME table.

   If you use a copy of the SAMPLE database created by some other
   person, you will need to either create an ALIAS for the EMP_RESUME
   table or qualify all references in the example program to specify the
   schema name used to create the SAMPLE database otherwise you will get
   a -204 SQL error compiling the program.



   OPERATION
   =========

   LOBDEMO connects to the SAMPLE database and then the program creates
   a CURSOR, fetches the contents of the EMP_RESUME table into LOB
   LOCATOR host varaibles and then use the VALUES function to just
   obtain the information specified to the "Department".  This
   informations is then copied over to a buffer and is displayed.
