Who says you need MQ Series?
MQ Series is a queue-based IBM messaging protocol; DataStage - via appropriate plug-in (which only means "optionally installed") stage types - has the ability to read messages from a queue and to write messages to a queue. Typically these messages will contain rows of data for DataStage to process.

Nraj,
the internet is a big and helpful place. I would suggest you start at
IBM MQ Series. I've always looked at MQ Series as IBM's computer-based approach to the TELEX system; you can move messages back and forth and also get receipts for transmission and receipts. Of course, there is a lot more to it than that.

We recently used MQ messages as a scheduling option, i.e. the Oracle backup placed a message on the queue to say it had completed. This allowed as to create jobs with a non destructive read, allowing us to wait for the message to appear. Two or more sequences could then be run in a "wait state" waiting for the message to appear. A single destructive read was then executed to remove the message from the queue.
IBM's MQ allows "real-time" data processing in datastage and also provides a convenient conduit to AS400 data files.
