Hmmm...downloaded the PIPELINE.HELPLIB directly to my VM, but it doesn't work.
(am I missing a step?)

Subject: Re: [CMS-PIPELINES] PIPEDDR questions
John has created new stages that can read and write FBA devices. The
first version of those stages in level 110C0003 had poor performance
and other problems. They have been updated in level 110C0004, but
that level hasn't been officially released yet - just the test NXPIPE
level is available.
PIPEDDR has been updated to work with the new FBA stages, but I
haven't updated the download page until the updated PIPELINE module is
available. In the meantime, I've also made it work in DDR format,
using the modified DDR module in the DRPC package on the download
page. DDR format supports both ECKD and FBA.
The "ahelp" information comes from the PIPELINE HELPLIB file. If you
haven't downloaded an updated version of this file (from
http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/pipeline.helplib) then you are viewing
the HELPLIB file that comes with z/VM. It describes the stages that
are available with the z/VM level of Pipelines.
