DataStage does not provide any software for letting end users view data. The only place to view data within the DataStage suite is within a Designer where the user and preview the contents of a source or destination. It can be used to move the data into a database for use by data mining tools but as Ranjan says you will need to find a product to carry out your data mining.

The right tool for the right job.
DataStage is not, and has never been, a tool for data mining. It is an ETL tool, probably the best around. It can certainly be used to prepare data in a format more amenable for data mining, but other tools actually perform that task.
