According to HELP PIPE PARAMETERS, Unix-style redirection is allowed.  To
quote:

       Input/output redirection is allowed in a command sequence. The
       command before an angle bracket (> or <) redefines its SYS$INPUT,
       SYS$OUTPUT, or SYS$ERROR during execution. You cannot use angle
       brackets (<>) to represent a directory specification in a PIPE
       command because the PIPE command interprets angle brackets as
       input/output redirection syntax.
