Hi, Florian.
It appears that your using a back-level version of CMS Pipelines that
doesn't know about the THREEWAY stage. The CMS pipelines version that
ships with z/VM 5.4 dates from several years ago, and, in the meantime,
the master plumber has been very busy adding neat new features to Pipes.
I would recommend you look into downloading and installing the more up
to date "plastic" plumbing found here:
http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/
There are a set of clear instructions on how to install this newer
version as well as how to run both the IBM-supplied version and this one
at the same time. Also take a look at the PICKPIPE Rexx exec, found on
the same web page; it allows you to switch between Pipeline versions
very easily.
Have a good one.

Dear all,
I am trying to write a REXX exec using CMS PIPES. I am totally new to this
subject and try to understand how the pipes are working. So it can be that I
make something totally wrong.
I would like to replace 2 words in a string starting at word 3. The content
of those words are not known, therefore I can not use change."
I thought I would use the built-in program THREEWAY to solve that problem.
However when I start the exec following error message is produced:
FPLSCB027E Entry point THREEWAY not found
z/VM 5.4 is installed.
I don't really know whats going on here. Maybe I don't understand how to
invoke THREEWAY or there is something other wrong with it.
Maybe some of you have an idea. Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Florian
Here is a test program:
/* REXX */
"pipe (end ?) ",
"literal /This is a word string/ ",
"!t: threeway word 3 2 ! console",
"?t:",
"! literal /second/",
"! console",
"?t:",
"! literal /third/",
"!console"
return
