Venkat,

if you are importing jobs and you get that warning message it means that someone is editing or using it - you can't override that, nor do you want to. You need to make sure nobody is using the jobs prior to replacing them. The mechanism that DataStage uses for functions/subroutines is different and you won't get any error messages at all.

In your situation the lock on the routine is held by a defunct process, specifically the disconnected import process.

You do not unlock from UNIX. You must enter the dssh environment and use its tools to free the lock. To do so you will require administrative privileges.
