APAR IY81403
The "temporary tables" feature does not apply on Sybase and Informix(R), because these 2 RDBMS vendor do not clean up the contents of a temporary table after the commit; only after releasing the session to the database. So, you will see some messages like:
Sybase Server Error: Msgno 3621 Level 10 State 0 Command has
been aborted due to "unique constraint violation" errors 
caused by attempts to insertrows already present in the database.
This error can cause a decrease in performance.
