Hi Guru's
can we call container stage developed in datastage server jobs into mainframe jobs.

Thanks in advance
Srimitta

The reason is reasonably straightforward. Everything you do in a mainframe job generates a slab of COBOL source code (and maybe - probably - JCL).

Server jobs (a container is a subset of a server job) generate BASIC.
A COBOL compiler simply won't deal with BASIC!
