If the file is on unix/linux you can use either the more or less commands from a command oprompt. If it's on windows you can use more from a command window or a text edit program.
To view the file from within the datastage client you will need some sort of metadata even if it's a single varchar column.

Well... perhaps you could explain to us what "view the data without using metadata" means to you? What are you trying to accomplish? To me it means going out to the command line and using vi on the file. Or doing the same with a hex editor. Or perhaps defining it as one long string field in a Sequential File stage and then using the View Data option there, even though that technically takes 'metadata'.
Yet another option, bring it over to your client PC and open the file with Notepad or Excel.
