Sadly Pipes is not available in native z/OS - it is available in the SmartBatch - the cover letter is here https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=DD&subtype=SM&htmlfid=897/ENUS5655-A17 - unfortunately this is really overkill if all you want is Pipes.
Here is an RFE you can vote on requesting IBM to integrate Pipes into the base z/OS https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=47699 Hope this helps - please vote on the RFE and that may help to 'nudge' IBM but don't hold your breath.

It states 'PIPE command not found' and does a Customer have to pay for the z/OS Feature to use PIPE's under Rexx Program. Which Product does a Customer have to order or enable to allow a user to use PIPE commands. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Regards, Jasi Grewal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
