TSO PIPE in REXX

[rsray]

Here is a code snippet from a Vendor supplied exec that is suppose to work in MVS Batch.

' PIPE (stagesep ' ,
' < ddname=IN ; ',
' stem memin. ; ' ,
' hole '

I'm following instructions as supplied and get following error msg.

IKJ56500I COMMAND PIPE NOT FOUND
5 *-* 'pipe (stagesep ' ,' < ddname=IN ; ',' stem memin. ; ' ,' hole
+++ RC(-3) +++
Any ideas? I know this type of thing WILL WORK on VM/CMS I tested it already

Thanks

Looks like this is a feature of BatchPipes. I found a PTF that describes the situations.

No worries

Any RC=-3 is an indication that ADDRESS is incorrect. What ADDRESS are you operating in here? I'm guessing that it should be <address TSO>.

Yes.. Its an vendor supplied REXX running in BATCH/TSO

The form of the answer leads me to suspect that you misunderstood the question.

Is there a statement executed prior to the PIPE which says 'address TSO'? Is this the last-executed 'address' statement prior to the PIPE?

If the answer to both questions is 'yes', you may not have BaptchPipes installed on that machine. If the answer to either is 'no', you should fix the code.
