I've been using the IBM internal version of TSO Pipelines in
z/OS batch for many years.  Here's a typical trivial use in one
of my batch jobs:
 
 //*
 //* Store the listing.
 //*
 //LISTING  EXEC PGM=PIPE,PARM='< dd=pipe|strip|join *|runpipe|cons'
 //CPPLIST  DD   DSN=&&CPPLIST,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
 //LISTING  DD   DSN=&RELHLQ..&LEVEL..&OLIST,DISP=SHR
 //PIPE     DD   *
  < dd=CPPLIST
 |strip trailing
 |pad 2
 |> dd=LISTING(&OREF) ispfstat
 /*
 
The PARM field in this case is used to run a general pipe supplied
in the PIPE DD statement.  For a simple case, you can just specify
everything in the PARM field:
 
 //WAIT1MIN EXEC PGM=PIPE,PARM='literal +1:00|delay'
