You an call external programs from DataStage and, with a bit more work, you can embed external library functions into DataStage. How is this service you are looking into calling normally invoked? If through either of the 2 methods listed above then the answer is "yes"

Hi,
Using the SOA formerly known as RTI addon you should be able to do it.
Bare in mind that this is usually for online transactions and not for masive batch purposes.

What is the process you want to implement?

As Roy notes, the 'official' answer is to purchase the SOA Edition. Out of the box it enables you to expose a DataStage as a web service, the ability to call a web service from a DataStage job is optional... and extra, of course.
