snassimr,

the method of defining and using routines in DataStage is project-centric. The actual methodology used is called local cataloging in UniVerse terms. You can define routines as being "globally cataloged" but this would get overwritten when you recompile the routine.

Overall it makes more sense to put together a good suorce control and promotion scheme to distribute a routine to all projects on a system rather than using globally cataloged routines. If you wish more information on this subject, the IBM documentation that you have been referred to in the past does hold the descriptions and details.
