What is the difference between DS Macro and parallel routine/DS routine?

A DS macro is an interlude to a DS function so there is no difference between them. DS functions are written in DataStage BASIC.
Parallel routines, however, are written in C++ and therefore can not be invoked through DS macros.

I am sorry Ray but I didn't get what you meant by "you will be able to join them".
