True, but you can use the value in another cp command that you construct in the
Pipe (tested):
'PIPE CP Q ALLOC ALL' ,
'| TAKE LAST 1' ,
'| CONSOLE' ,
'| SPECS /QUERY DASD/ 1 W-1 NW' ,
'| CP',
'| LOCATE / CP /',
'| CONSOLE',
'| SPECS W2 1 WRITE W5 1',
'| VAR IPLDEV',
'| DROP 1',
'| VAR IPLVOL'
There is no need for more than 1 invocation of Pipes or for multi-stream Pipes.
