Calculating distance from point to polyline

I am using ArcMap 10.4.1 - Basic use.

I have to determine for each point (leak), how many lines (pipes) there are within a certain distance (Spatial join - within a distance of).

Then I have to proceed with this filtered dataset and determine the distance from that point to all lines within a certain distance. I want the same calculation method as closest, but then for all lines and not only the closest. Additionally, a line can be in a certain distance of multiple points.

As I make use of the basic license, I do not have the option of using the proximity toolbox (near tool). Is there a workaround to determine the distance from a point to all lines within a certain distance?

I already thought of the tool points to lines, but as this is a many-to-many relationship it is not possible directly.
