1st Export the database to Microsoft Access database format. (there is an issue at the Web for doing this)
Then access the .mdb with C. Reports
Anything better? NO sorry...

I found this on Novell's cool solutions page
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/Assets/GPExport.zip
The quick description is "Many users have expressed the desire to be able to export the inventory data from the Sybase database into a common, well-known format, so that 3rd-party tools can be used to create reports from this data. GPExport 1.0 is the answer. GPExport will allow for the exporting of data into a comma-delimited format for the purpose of importing the data into other tools suchas spreadsheets, databases or word processors"

More information can be found at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/zenworks/features/a_gpexport_zw.html

I haven't tried this myself, but it might be what you need
