Welcome to DSXChange, Tej.

The language used for programming routines is DS/BASIC, the language description can be read in the DataStage BASIC Reference Guide.

Routines are created in the DataStage repository (New -> Server Routine) and can either be transformation functions (executed for each row processed) or before/after subroutines (executed once per job). You can do whatever you like - whatever your coding skills permit, anyway - within routines, but per-row routines really should be short and snappy.
