adasel: getting actual lob field reference

//DDSIIN   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=QSYSCM.DB004.PLOG.D220411

//DDCARD DD *
ADARUN PROG=ADASEL,DB=004,SVC=235,DE=8393,DSF=YES
/*
//DDKARTE DD *
SELECT ALL RECORDS FROM FILE 2811
WITH ISN = 11119
DISPLAY ALL
END
//

instead of just giving the text 'lob field' at a DISPLAY, print a pointer (DB/FNO/ISN) to the concrete item

Use Case identifing the content of a lobfield

    to be more precise ...

    the output of the lob-field "AO" in our example (adasel.jpg) should look as follows

    AO LOB REFERENCE -> DBID: nnnn FNR: nnnn ISN: nnnnn

    Hello Ernst,

    pls. be more precise on what you want to achieve.
    RnD does not currently understand your request, because it is too generic.

    Would it be possible to send a screenshot / text file of the existing display WITH THE INFORMATION YOU DISLIKE HIGHLIGHTED?
    Would it be doable to send a (fake) display, like you want to have it in future?

    Pls. explain what problem you are trying to solve!
    What do you want from the Log data, other that the whole value?

    It is a big field...could you use another utility ADADEC to decompress the file and write a natural program to go through that output?

    I think all these answers would really help.

    Thanks and cheers,

    Jürgen
