We are looking to store PDF documents in an IMS database. Can anyone point us in the right direction to get started on this? Assuming, of course, that's it's possible/practical............
Thank u

I would have thought that it was impossible unless there have been changes to IMS to allow BLOB type data. DB2 could handle it.

Depends ... If you have something to de-construct/re-construct
Suppose the 1st question is how do you want to retrieve/look at it
