Find out who put them there and on whose advice. They are not standard, so please post the results of your research here.

Ray,

So when should these variables be present in the dsenv file?

Recently we had an "Status code = -14" Timeout error and IBM Support advised us to add DSWaitStartup, DSWaitResetStartup as user defined variables (besides running few patches) at the project level, after adding them I checked the dsenv file, but they are still not present there, what could be the reason?

Adding them as Project level variables does not get them in dsenv. You would have to do that manually if you wanted the changes made across all projects, then bounce DataStage.
