In the Start menu under the Ascential folder is the entire DS BASIC manual.

You've also got access to all the vendor supplied routines via the Manager. Open up the 'Routines' branch by clicking on the plus sign next to it and then double-click on any of the routines there. They are typically well documented in their Long Description and the BASIC source code is available for your study by switching to the Code tab.

The DataStage server itself is not entirely coded in DataStage BASIC, which is a vast superset of Pick BASIC. The server is also coded in other languages, primarily C, for example for those pieces that must deal directly with operating system resources.
The ultimate reference for DataStage BASIC is the DataStage BASIC manual (C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage\Docs\Basic.pdf)
