hello gang -- I've been trying to gather a list of pipelines implementations apart from CMS/TSO. Specifically, I know about NetRexx Java Pipes, and I think there was another Java implementation. I also found an implementation in Swift. Are there others? This is my current question. I'm scheduled

There's value in having common expressions across platforms and environments. Witness the 'ifconfig' command Alan and company created years ago for VM TCP/IP. (Later regretting that it lacked '-a'.) Often the common component is only a portion, but combining segments is trivial. Think outside the

As I recall (and this was a hot topic for me and others around 1990, especially at the SHARE conference) "CP 37 v2" was what customers called the corrected version of Codepage 37. Codepage 37 was an excellent attempt by IBM to capture standard practice at the time (in the US) along with full align

Re: [CMS-PIPELINES] PC-Pipes anyone?

That would be the goal of the project I mentioned (using POSIX pipe pair to effect Hartmann Pipes). The base functionality would be highly portable. Adding Rexx to such a thing is easy. Regression testing with Rexx samples from CMS would be a requirement. Not talking about boiling the full ocean.

NRJ looks cool (Based on NetRexx it *had* to be cool), and as I recall surprisingly complete. But I did not get very far in understanding it. I also have an outstanding concern: can it drive stages simultaneously and natively outside of the JVM? As a community, we've always been critical of Unix s
