Interesting... after a few false starts I actually got this working. Had to
change ICEGENER to IEBGENER (ICEGENER was getting a RC=12) and use a
different PATH, but it works as advertised. But does this buy you
anything? Looks like it's just routing the data through a USS file although
I suppose with a large file you could have two jobs running concurrently and
cut down on total elapsed time.

I don't know anything about the PIPES being discussed here. However, you
can "pipe" information from one job to another using standard JCL. Run
the following two jobs together, in separate initiators (of course!).
Oh, and make any JCL changes necessary!
//useridGW JOB (H00000I),'TESTPIPE1',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=X,
// TYPRUN=HOLD,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,TIME=NOLIMIT
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MACLIB(READ)
//SYSUT2 DD PATH='/tmp/MCKOWNPIPE',
// PATHDISP=(KEEP,KEEP),
// PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR),
// PATHOPTS=(OCREAT,OWRONLY),
// DSNTYPE=PIPE,
// LRECL=80,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=80
//
/*EOF
//useridGR JOB (H00000I),'TESTPIPE2',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=X,
// TYPRUN=HOLD,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,TIME=NOLIMIT
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD PATH='/tmp/MCKOWNPIPE',
// PATHDISP=(KEEP,KEEP),
// PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR),
// PATHOPTS=(OCREAT,ORDONLY),
// DSNTYPE=PIPE,
// LRECL=80,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=80
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//
The GW job will "pipe" SYS1.MACLIB(READ) to /tmp/MCKOWNPIPE, which will
be read and printed by the GR job. Whichever one starts first will wait
for the second one to start. When the GW job signals EOF, then both jobs
will terminate.
