Re: VARY command update?
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.

Re: VARY command update?
I've been around VM 25 years. I started when I was 6 obviously ;) pipe cp q proc | spec /vary on proc/ 1 w2 nw | cp Obvious, huh ? Yeah, I'm sure the operator thought I was speaking greek too. They really do try to be very self sufficient and not bug the systems staff for commands. I appreciate that. But they aren't programmers or plumbers.
