modulo CMS pipelines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMS_Pipelines at least since 1982 (almost as old as REXX) ... I had author at spring 1982 adtech conference (week before share), archived reference http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/96.html#4a later made available on MVS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BatchPipes history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BatchPipes#History BatchPipes Version 1 was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s simply as a technique to speed up MVS/ESA batch processing. In 1997 the functionality of BatchPipes was integrated into a larger IBM product - SmartBatch (which incorporated two BMC Corporation product features: DataAccelerator and BatchAccelerator). However SmartBatch was discontinued in April 2000. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
