David, As noted in the sample "QDASD EXEC" that I posted, the 'WILDCARD' stage is provided only by the CMS Pipelines Runtime Library (aka: Pipe RTL) available at: http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/
It is my belief that most 'advanced' z/VM customer sites that do not have some form of restriction on loading public domain software run using Pipes RTL as their default. Pipes RTL has many improved, and many altogether new, stages compared with the older IBM z/VM Endicott Lab version distributed with z/VM. Pipes RTL is backward and upward compatible with Endicott Pipes. Pipes RTL is authored and supported (on an ad hoc, but very good basis) by John Hartmann of IBM Denmark, the author of CMS Pipelines. Read the PIPELINES NEWS files at that URL for descriptions of some of the newer enhancements. When there, be sure to load down the installation instructions, as well as the PICKPIPE EXEC (which makes it easier to swap back and forth between the "Pipes RTL" and "Endicott" distributions). Once you are convinced that Pipes RTL is the one true, enlightened path, you may want to go back to the Endicott Pipes on occasion when testing something, PICKPIPE gives you an easy means of doing so.
