DATA - LOB HANDLE
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
DATA dtype TYPE dbtab [READ-ONLY]
lob_handle_type FOR lob_handle_columns
[lob_handle_type FOR lob_handle_columns
...
].
Effect
Derivation of an lob handle structure as a work area for working with
streaming and locators in Open SQL. For dbtab, you must specify either a
database table or
view that is defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
Using the lob_handle_columns column specifications,
lobs from dbtab are determined for which
lob handle components
are created in the structure and whose static type is determined using the lob_handle_type type specification.
The syntax and meaning of the additions are exactly the same as the definition of lob handle structures
with the corresponding variant of the TYPES statement.
