Read the BASIC pdf manual and the online help for examples. You can also search the forum for keywords involved in working with sequential files in BASIC - openseq, closeseq, etc.

For example, this recent post discusses (in great detail) how the OpenSeq function works. You shouldn't have any problems finding plenty of code snippets posted here as well.

As you may know, DataStage uses GUI stages to represent seq files. So you may be better off using those icons rather than writing BASIC codes - unless it is extremely necessary.
