Some data sources have restrictions on the number of binary large objects (BLOBs) that can be placed into a single table. If your data source has such restrictions, specify A_DB2_USE_CHAR_FOR_BINARY in the ACUFH configuration file. The possible values for this variable are:
| "0" | use BINARY type |
| "1" | use CHAR type |
A nonzero value for A_DB2_USE_CHAR_FOR_BINARY lets you store data that uses the BINARY XFD directive as hexadecimal encoded CHAR types. This allows you to work around your data source restriction. While the default value is "0" (off, false, no), this ACUFH configuration variable can also take values of "On" (true, yes).
Because of current limitations of the interface, you must set this variable to "1", or the database returns an error on file creation. This has been set for you in the sample ACUFH configuration file cblconfig.db2. Do not change this setting.
