Macros are supplied by the vendor in this case IBM. Things like DSJobName and DSHostName are just nice to have. They save time and can be used like any variable.

Most of the supplied macros are mainly useful in enriching captured errors with information about the job in which they were captured.

You can create your own, but it requires a reasonably advanced knowledge of the DataStage BASIC programming language as well as editing of a configuration file.
