The "problem" is that REXX doesn't return default values for stems when you
ask to get all values (using REXXVARS). Not due to PIPE thus.
You can for example include a line /V.R./ in the file VAR VALUES and
then after VARLOAD you'll get the default set too. That line obviously
must be placed before the other /V.R.xxx lines
Note too that you'd better use VARLOAD DIRECT, otherwise: if the exec in
which you use that VARLOAD already defined some contents for R (like
R='fred') then your simple VARLOAD would define V.fred.A and V.fred.B
