Define "call a environment variable(User Defined) in a routine" ???
IF you mean get its value then yes you can. This has been covered a few times in the recent past. Search for more details.

The method is different depending on whether the environment variable was defined in the login shell or in the DataStage Administrator. Be wary of this while searching.

Did you check this posting? Again, depends on what you mean by 'call'. It that just means 'use' then just use it directly, dollar sign and all.
