I don't have access to TSO Pipes other than what is included with BatchPipes but it seems that it is a tad dated - it is actually old enough to drink:
BPW00086I BatchPipes/MVS BatchPipeWorks, 5655-065/SCPSP 1.0109 (Version.Release/Mod) - Generated 12 Oct 1996 at 13:59:00 If someone has the non-BP version of TSO Pipes it would be interesting to see the results of the PIPES Q command showing the date. For those of you who would like to encourage IBM to release TSO Pipes as part of the z/OS base please go to this URL and vote https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe <https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=47699 > &CR_ID=47699 (note the current vote is 188 which places it at the top in the z/OS area). Having TSO Pipes as a native part of the z/OS distribution would help everyone as software developers would then be free to use it when developing applications, products, and tools knowing that every site has it available.
