Using CSPs to access catalog information

The catalog structures for DB2 UDB and Sybase ASE are different. If you have client applications written to access the ASE catalog, you may need to re-code the client application queries to send those queries directly to the DB2 system tables. However, to avoid modifying your database-specific applications, you can use CSPs to access catalog information. The CSPs supplied with the DB2 UDB Option for CICS are compatible with the catalog interface for ODBC or JDBC.
