You use a text editor and some knowledge of Perl scripting.

However, what precisely is it that you are trying to do? Write this down in English and turn it into a specification, and you may well find that your task becomes much more straightforward to solve.

For example, is the DataStage job the web service, or is it something else? Having invoked the web service, you can store the result in a file (a good approach if the result is large) or write the result into a named pipe or message queue that the DataStage job is reading. Another approach would be to use an External Source stage to execute the Perl script; its output feeds directly into the DataStage job.
