In SAS/ACCESS ^® 9.2 for Relational Databases, Reference, Fourth Edition, the sections "What's New" and "Data Types for DB2 Under z/OS" incorrectly indicate that the DB2 data types BLOB and CLOB are supported.

When you attempt to read a table that contains either of these DB2 data types, you do not receive any message that indicates that they are not supported. In SAS^® 9.2 and SAS^® 9.3, these data types are created incorrectly as numeric variables rather than character variables. Starting in SAS^® 9.4 TS1M0, this data type is read in as a character variable with a length of 32,767 bytes.

Currently, there is no workaround for this issue.
