text editor
I wish there was a text editor to manage, view or edit files so that its easy to manipulate the files. Am I missing out on something that I dont know?

Re: text editor
I can recommend using WinSCP which is an open source free SFTP client and FTP client for Windows. It has its (basic) text editor too.

Well, I was looking for an editor integrated within datastage. I used to use VI editor in all my earlier projects and didnt feel the need of one. But in the new project its a secured and restricted environment where in I cant access anything outside datastage. So, Was just checking if there was any editor withing ds. we are allowed to view a sample of data but not to view complete data or edit it within ds.

Well, yes there are. There is a line-based text editor (ED) that can be used from within the Administrator client command window.
There is also the Alternative Editor (AE, the original Unidata line editor) but that requires some setup.
On UNIX platforms there is an interlude to vi called UV.VI (but the screen management escape sequences play havoc with the Administrator client command window rendering this option unusable via that means).
And, of course, you can start a shell (such as SH) from the DataStage shell (dssh).
