It's a lack of modularity/reusability. The UNIX Way, as preached
by such as Rob Pike and Eric Raymond but much ignored would
be notionally something like:
IEBCOPY [-o options1] | TRANSMIT [-o options2]
giving the programmer control and access to any new features
of either utility.
This could be done, painstakingly, with two job steps and a temp DSN.

used by OO languages (such as C++?)
