can we use datastage complex file stage for all mainframe source files? or can we use sequential file to read mainframe source files?
Under what situations we have to use sequential file stage vs complex flat file stage for reading mainframe source files?
Is there any performance implication on one or the other?

You can use Sequential File stage for "flat files" - single record structure, ideally no packed decimal data - sourced from mainframe. Prefer Complex Flat File stage for others - multiple record structures, packed decimal data, etc.
