ABAP_DESCRIPTION
In the main method, an
LOB handle structure is derived from the structure of the
DEMO_BLOB_TABLE database table , whereby the PICTURE component is declared as an LOB handle component for a locator . This locator is then created in a SELECT statement .
A new value is then assigned to the key field of the LOB handle structure and the LOB handle structure is used as a work area in an INSERT statement. In this way, the content of the column to which the locator is connected is copied to the corresponding column of the new row without the content having to be transported to the ABAP program.
If you are accessing data which was previously written in the example for write streams , this is the data of a figure in the GIF format. By specifying the new name, the copied figure can be displayed using the example for read streams .
