Use this option to export LOB data retrieved from the database.
Map the file extensions before you export LOB data retrieved from the database (see View and edit LOB data), then the export is similar to exporting ordinary data, but with LOB option specifications.
For example, you can export a LOB as a bitmap, then save it as an HTML file (.htm) in the Export Data dialog box.
For most LOB data, an HTML form may make the most sense because the file can be displayed as an HTML address for HTML reports and web pages. For more sophisticated web pages, use the HTML Form capabilities in QMF for Windows.
Follow these steps to export LOB data into an .ixf, .txt or .html file:
The Export Data dialog box opens.
The Export Text/DEL Options (General tab) dialog box opens.
The Export Text/Del Options (LOB tab) dialog box opens.
The Export Data dialog box opens.
When opened, the text file displays the LOB query results information that was exported from the query results. The HTML file displays an active link.
