Pipes come in various flavors - TSO, CMS, z/OS Batch, *nix so that you can
select the flavor that you like best. Sadly two of the flavors require that you
work with the manufacturer on a special order while the other two (CMS and
*nix) have them as part of the base design. You use them to speed up the flow
of important stuff around walls, valleys, cliffs, mountains, etc.
It wont happen. IIRC, TSO is basically in lock down with no budget to do
anything. I would rather vote for REXX to be refactored so it's not so
much of a dog.
Hope that helps :-)

What are these pipes of which you speak? They sound interesting. Do they stream
information like lead and copper and PVC plumbing streams water?
Do they come with couplers and tees and elbows and valves and filters?

You can add your comments to the comments section on both RFEs - I think that
would be terrific.
Thank you

I have voted for both of these. I think. How does one indicate strength of
interest (1-2-3-4-5)? I couldn't find that.

That's a weak "yes" for me. But it shouldn't be "similar to CMS"; it
should rely on reusable code as much as possible, for
portability/compatibility/synchronized
maintenance.
also for StreamIO

That's a strong "yes". I'd add a couple things:
o Stream I/O is already supported in compiled Rexx, but only for Classic data
sets,
and in OMVS interpreted, but only for UNIX files. Both should be supported
everywnere.
o The standard SIGNAL ON NOTREADY should be part of the requirement. (That
can't be done in a function package.)
(Can you amend?)
There's some overlap here; it should be possible to bridge stream I/O to the
putative TSO Pipelines.
Thanks,
gil
