JR45204: DB2EE supports CLOB datatype with max limit to 60K bytes in load operators. RESOLUTION : In order to address we have added support for writing CLOBS via APT_DB2_INLINE_CLOB environment variable. In addition to the above environment variable, also set the Job Property as "Use ASCII Delimited Format=True" The property will be present at (DB2 Enterprise Stage ==> Properties ==> Options ==> Use ASCII Delimites Format) and set to TRUE. This has been limited to 60K bytes so as to transfer the LOB inline. In order to use the functionality, the environment varaible need to be set. For example: APT_DB2_INLINE_CLOB=60000
