  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Changes to objects  with LOB columns    *
  *                      was previously restricted or offered    *
  *                      limited capability.                     *

  *                      Additionally, LOB column data was       *
  *                      unloaded to  the SYSREC data set,       *
  *                      with  limitations on  the maximum       *
  *                      record length allowed.                  *

  *                      involving  LOB objects  now  have       *
  *                      expanded  capabilities  to  allow       *
  *                      changing the objects.                   *
  *                                                              *
  *                      Additionally,  objects with LOB columns *
  *                      can  now  be unloaded  with base  table *
  *                      data going  to the SYSREC  data set and *
  *                      the  LOB column data going  to the data *
  *                      set as  directed  by the  LOB TEMPLATE. *
  *                      This capability requires that the apply *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply The PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  This APAR  delivers the  supporting  elements  in  DB2  Object
