Cross posted to IBM-MAIN, TSO REXX, and Pipelines.
The ISPF stacking character can be set to "|", but TSO tries to execute
the passed stack data after each command. If that could be disabled, data
could be passed from program to program, providing a stack based piping
capability.
Does anyone know how to disable stack data being executed?
Could it be a viable requirement candidate to have two command
delimiters, one that executed the stack and one that didn't?
Thanks!!

Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode
(Pipes) or via disk (JCL)? Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands
with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly
over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon.
REXX is the new C.
