what you are talking about is a 2-phase commit. In cics you issue a CICS SYNCPOINT command with the commit option. This commits the transaction as a whole. Commits are propagated to DB2 and IMS and any other resource manager (like WebSphere MQ) that is participating and supports the 2-phase commit protocols.
In a CICS transaction, if you try to do an SQL commit you wil get a -925 which is an environment error. 2PC requires that there be a coordinator (CICS) and participants (DB2, IMS, etc.). Only the coordinator can "coordinate" the commit process.
