LOB Handle Structure
The structure of a special work area to support streaming and locators for LOBs in Open SQL. LOB handle structures have the same components as database tables or views. However, there is at least one component which is assigned to an LOB, which is not a string but instead an LOB handle component. An LOB handle structure can be defined by component with ABAP statements or in the ABAP Dictionary, or it can be derived by referencing a structure that contains LOBs.
