I have a requirement where client is very much interested to see the rules applied in our datastag jobs.. for example transformation rules that we built.
I generated job report but, that turned out to be consuming many pages and more complex to view then a actual job.
after that they are keen to see if datastage can produce some sort of xml representation of a job.
All ideal is to see the rules on paper
Any idea would be help full.

This is always an intereseting question.... how to represent DS rules "in text"....... DS and one or two other tools ten years ago crafted the visual metaphor so that such things could be avoided.... it's too hard to represent a complex "flow" in pure text. So....quite often I will hear people say exactly this -- that the visual picture of the job is the best way to initially understand what the job does... (bingo ..that was the whole point anyway!)......
However, I've seen some good textual interpretations....the job report of course, and another alternative is the Metadata Workbench interpretation, especially if you set up a graphical lineage report for one or multiple jobs.
