DBI and Statement SIze

Here is a brief description of my DBD::Informix

    Product Version:       951
I am trying to insert a 16MB data into a idn_mrLvarchar data type which 
has 2GIG capacity. This I can achieve using LOAD statement within 
'dbaccess'. However, going through DBI, I can only achieve 256Bytes of 
data insertion. DBI::bind_param, and DBI::bind_param_inout are not 
implemented. I have used place holders with no effect either. Short of 
asking 'What Next', I am wondering if DBI does not care about the size 
of a SQL statement, which some of this group's members suggested some 
other day in their email to me, then what is preventing this insertion? 
I have a read some old email on this list and in one of them it was 
suggested that the sql size limit is 64K (True/False?). Is there any way 
of changing size limit in DBI, if such functionality exists at all?
I appreciate any feed back..
Thanks in advance
