In most cases the code is dual-pathed so I can run it either on CMS (easier to test) or TSO (via Batch JCL). Ultimately, the REXX code has to execute on MVS (z/OS), since the code is updating PDS members. I really, really, really miss PIPELINEs on TSO and wish IBM would package it with z/OS. I don't know if you would have any influence in that area, but if IBM did it, perhaps, (I know, I'm dreaming!), it would add some extra funds into paying for CMS/TSO PIPELINEs support. -- Dale R.
