CSDATA: ACEE and CICS

We would like to be able to choose if we want to access or not RACF Custom Fields from CICS. Via a parameter, for example in the SIT we could be able to decide if, automatically the CF should be brought into storage and anchored from the ACEE. This way we could access CSDATA in a standard way.
