Please refer to the Join Stage of the DataStage Job Developer's Guide. It explains the steps of creating outer join.

There is no Join stage in server jobs. A lookup in a Transformer stage naturally performs a left outer join. It can be proven that, by exchanging the left and right links, any right outer join can be constructed as a left outer join. This answer ignores issues of "performance", but so does the question.
