I'm just getting started on MVS after all these years. I was happy to
find BatchPipes installed on my system, even if it's ancient:
> pipe query level
> BatchPipes/MVS BatchPipeWorks, 5655-065/SCPSP level 1109001A
> ***
but less happy when a simple pipe failed:
> PIPE < t093.list|cons|specs
,listds ', 1 w3 n ,' members, n|tso
> |locate ,CEASAPI,|cons
After listing 20 datasets, it gets:
> System abend code 0C4, reason code 00000004.
> Abend in host command RXG or address environment routine LINK.

Doesn't matter what stages follow TSO, it abends the same way at the same
point. If I stick in a DROP 19 to start at the 20th data set, it runs
fine from there to the end, but even with DROP 18 it fails. If I reverse
the list, it abends the same way but at different points in the list.
