Simplify Database Migration for Clients Migrating from DB2z to LUW

Background: Clients who are migrating their databases from DB2 on mainframes to LUW, commonly use the ISO8859-1 code set. These clients need to maintain the exact sorting order they had on the mainframe, which utilizes the EBCDIC collating sequence (code page 037).

Current Limitation: The current process requires clients to utilize a C program to assign the collation sequence of CCSID 037 during database creation, which is complex and time-consuming.

Proposed Solution: Implement a feature in the Database Creation Command Line Processor (CLP) on LUW that allows specifying the collation directly. For instance, the command:

```

db2 create database mydb using codeset iso8859-1 collate csid 037;

```
