I assume you're referring here to the terms used in the Expression Editor's operands menu.
- A routine is a separately compiled, stand-alone piece of DataStage BASIC code that is stored in the Routines branch of the Repository.
A transform is a DataStage BASIC expression, not separately compiled, that is stored in the Transforms branch of the Repository.
A function is one of the many intrincsic functions within the DataStage BASIC language.
