    | { WRITER|LOCATOR } ... 

Effect

These additions determine the static type of the LOB handle components when deriving an LOB handle structure using the TYPES statement.

• The READER addition determines
  

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_X_READER for BLOBs and

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_C_READER for CLOBs.

• The WRITER addition determines
  

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_X_WRITER for BLOBs and

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_C_WRITER for CLOBs

• The LOCATOR addition determines
  

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_X_LOCATOR for BLOBs and

• the static type CL_ABAP_DB_C_LOCATOR for CLOBs.

• The LOB HANDLE addition determines
  

• the static type IF_ABAP_DB_BLOB_HANDLE for BLOBs and

• the static type IF_ABAP_DB_CLOB_HANDLE for CLOBs.

The READER and WRITER additions cannot be used together in a TYPES statement. Furthermore, WRITER cannot be used with LOB HANDLE.

The combination possibilities with the lob_handle_columns column specifications are explained with the TYPES statement.
