This question has great potential for a really long IBM-MAIN thread :-) Is it a question about: - how to store a PDF in a dataset? - how to load PDFs into DB2? - how to transfer a PDF to a mainframe dataset? - how to process DB2 LOBs in COBOL ?
Pick your favorite aspect, or anything slightly related, and post away :-) The requirements are little vague to suggest the best approach. For example: where are PDFs that you want to load? If they are on another platform and you can get a DB2 client connection from that platform, then use a utility or simple program (say, in Java) on that platform to load the PDF into the LOB via a remote DB2 connection.
