Can anyone suggest a good site/PDF/Study Material where one can learn Basic Programming and also one which helps in querying the Universe??
The one which comes with Datastage installation does not help much.

Ascential have on the books, but not scheduled, a class called
Programming with DataStage BASIC. It can be offered on demand, as far as I know. It was most recently revised for version 4.x, but the language hasn't changed that much.
UniVerse manuals can be downloaded for no charge from
IBM website - you should start with
UniVerse System Description, then
UniVerse SQL Reference and
UniVerse Guide to RetrieVe (SQL and RetrieVe are the two query languages).
Beware that DataStage and UniVerse are no longer identical, but there is a better than 95% overlap still.

PDF available in Datastage online manual for BASIC programming does not help much. It does not deal with the basics of the basic programming.

Anyways Thank you

At a pinch you could enrol on IBM's UniVerse Database Programming class; however only about 60% of that is relevant to DataStage, the remainder dealing with terminal I/O and other user interactions.
But it is scheduled more regularly than Ascential's.
