All you need to do in order to create a multiple instance DataStage job is to check on the tick box in the attributes of a job in the Designer. You will need to make sure that this job can run in parallel by yourself - for instance by checking to see that any output or interim sequential files have a unique name by instance.
When you call the multi instance job you need to give each instance a unique name as well.

As Arnd notes, there's more to it than just checking off a box. I wanted to highlight this sentence because it is critical to correct operation of Multi-Instance jobs.
