In my experience - the best way to learn pipes - is to trawl any and all execs
that you can find and look at how they use pipes to solve problems. For me - I
do not know about anyone else - but I had to adopt a new way of looking at the
problem - like writing assembler - an atomic approach to solving a problem by
the incremental refinement step by step - until I got the output I wanted.
Sometimes I found developing a pipe very tiresome - but once you get used to
the idea that within a pipe you can arrange the input data to suit your needs
(or indeed a format needed so that it complies with the selection/operation
by/on/of a builtin stage - any way you like) - operate on it and output what
you need - then it becomes a second to none tool that I got hooked on.

Subject: Re: VARY command update?
Is there a PIPE for Dummies book somewhere?
It seems to be a universal panacea and people, like Marcy here, just magically
pluck these things out of thin air as though it were common knowledge.
Where are the "cheat sheets"?

Subject VARY command update?
Happened to watch operations today in a disaster test...
Typing "vary on proc 01 vary on proc 02... "
Is a bit tedious when you've got more than a handful.
How about a VARY ON PROC ALL ?
(Yes, I gave him a pipe command and yes we can do this in an exec), but it
would be nice if the CP command could do this. Then they can look it up in the
IBM doc.
