Richard, You must be pretty ill; your recent posts have been atypical. My suggestion that SFS responses *might* be somehow handled by CP was only because SFS has exhibited some unintuitive behavior (those with high a "astonishment factor") in the past.
I tried (using more modern plumbing) from z/VM 5.1 and Pipes works fine here. BTW, thanks for the examples to help retry the problem, they were just what was needed even if I cannot recreate the problem. ---<snip>--- enroll user test gen01: (blo 10 M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:03 type richards file a DELETE USER TEST GEN01: (TYPE NOCONF M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:10 PIPE < RICHARDS FILE A | COMMAND | CONSOLE Deleted USERs: TEST M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:31 enroll user test gen01: (blo 10 M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:34 PIPE < RICHARDS FILE A | COMMAND CMDCALL | CONSOLE Deleted USERs: TEST M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:39 q cmslevel CMS Level 21, Service Level 501 M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:22:44 ---<snip>--- Going back to the "sanctioned", vanilla Pipes distributed with z/VM 510 did not yield any difference: ---<snip>--- pickpipe esa FPLINX086I CMS/TSO Pipelines, 5741-A05/5655-A17 1.0110 (Version.Release/Mod) - G enerated 22 Jul 2004 at 09:53:44 Source: z/VM 5.1.0 M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.03/0.04 13:28:24 enroll user test gen01: (blo 10 M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:28:44 PIPE < RICHARDS FILE A | COMMAND CMDCALL | CONSOLE Deleted USERs: TEST M2WALTER HALINVA1; T=0.01/0.01 13:28:50 ---<snip>--- So... a question that has not been asked directly before even though the answer has been indirectly implied: has this ever worked before? If so, what changed? If not, perhaps it is time to open a PMR since it works at other sites. Good Hunting!

As Richard was too lazy/didn't understand/didn't dare/ ... I ran a series= of commands to show the use of CMDCALL with SFS. It also proves that DELETE= USER works perfectly well from under the COMMAND stage. You truly NEED t= he CMDCALL prefix to find out what goes wrong with SFS commands.

In general -with CMDCALL- th= e first line is either an error message, either a headerline. CMDCALL can also help the lazy ones. Everyone should know that decent ex= ecs run with ADDRESS COMMAND. As a result, STAE for example doesn't produce error messages. Sometimes though STATE's error message is usefull for la= zy programmers: Not so lazy 'STATE' inputfile if rc<>0 then do say 'Input file "'inputfile'" not found'; exit rc; end Lazy, but more, extact, error information is displayed 'CMDCALL STATE' inputfile if rc<>0 then exit rc All this is explained in great detail in both "telecourses" Guy De Ceulae= r and I produced.
