That used to be possible (and documented) some 30 years ago. If someone has skills and passion to do that, I would be interested to work with him... Even apart from potential legal aspects, there are technical complications. The z/OS-specific parts are not distributed with z/VM. Closest you get on z/OS is the plumbing in BatchPipes that is 20 years old, like before z/VM 6.4. There was a service offering for CMS/TSO Pipelines on z/OS. Some of my z/OS brethren have access to the version I maintain, similar to what is in z/VM 6.4 today plus any z/OS specifics that were done by the Piper. Any new function we develop will not get into z/OS unless we allocate resources to do so. Sir Rob the Plumber
