Or, conversely, that others don't play well with Pipelines. To accomplish such amity would require:
o That a Pipeline connector could appear as a pseudo filemode so a Classic utility could operate oblivious that it was communicating with a Pipe rather than an MDFS file. z/OS Batchpipes accomplishes the analogue with the SUBSYS option on the DD statement. o That Classic CMS utilities such as TERSE operate concurrently with other stages. Essentially impossible given the design of CMS. z/OS Batchpipes accomplishes this by running some stages in separate address spaces. Is z/OS AMATERSE Batchpipes-friendly? (Ir's UNIX-hostile.) -- gil
