Changing groups should be OK. However, most of the executables in the DataStage bin directory must be owned by root and have the setuid bit set (mainly because they need to access shared memory segments owned by other processes). So steer well clear of any chmod or chown command that might affect the bin directory's contents.

Thanks to all replyers.
We have executed the procedure and everything indeed seems to continue to work correctly.
We found the following extra difficulties:
1) As we are operating in a mixed non-ldap - ldap environment. Changing groups in one environment had an impact on other systems.
2) Files created during ETL had the group name of the old dsadm primary group. In order to tidy up the system, we also changed the groupid of thes files.
