        I agree.  Maybe it should be made a Share request/requirement.

Remember the reasoning behind this stage was to be able to quickly output some 
data without the need to worry about having worked out what it was going to 
look like beforehand. I always thought of it as akin to a temp disk. Once I had 
solidified my thinking into a permanent solution, I would create permanent 
datasets and use the disk stage which avoids the buffering. Horses for courses.

How I long for the days when I had MVS pipes available. Why IBM don't have it 
as part of MVS as they do  for VM I still don't know...
