What happened to the SNAKE in your code? Folks down their don't fear a
snake, do they? ;-)  If you come up with good function, we make you a "roo"
stage too.

Yours is a great example how you can use CMS Pipelines to shape things in
an elegant way to fit your needs. I find myself even doing those things on
the command line so I get the snippets that I need. Just like I would on
Linux do "ifconfig | grep RX"  But I sometimes wish my friends in CP
development would spend less effort in shaping the CP response for
appearance, as that tends to make parsing the output a lot harder.

Just make sure you've voted for the RFE to show your interest. I'm eager to
learn about use cases that you may have. I was delighted to see someone
rank the upgrade of CMS Pipelines in z/VM 6.4 as one of his "top 5 things
that happened to z/VM in two decades". I am not sure we'd have a similar
adoption in TSO, but it would be good to prove the doubters wrong.
