Include BatchPipeworks (PIPE module) in base TSO

I wish IBM would include Batchpipeworks (AKA the PIPE module) with BASE code ZOS TSO. Batchpipeworks is included for free in the base VM CMS operating system.
Batchpipeworks has dozens of built in stages that allow for user written rexx stages to help write simple to very complex systems. This is a great tool for system support
personnel that must write rexx scripts to support the needs of your business. Some non IBM reference material is located here: http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/

    IBM has reviewed this longstanding request and IBM has no plans to implement this requirement.

    This would be great, and is long overdue.

    Additionally, the ability for it to run in a raw MVS environment (eg. IRXJCL) instead of just a TSO TMP would be good.

    Also, to specify it as instream data in a batch job.

    I totally agree with the Justification provided already and am surprised that IBM is not treating it as Higher Priority and continues to ignore the requests as there are other RFE's exists for the same request.

    IBM, Lets do the RIGHT thing and Listen to Your Customers....and strengthen the z/OS Environments by adding this feature 'Free of Charge and better Integrate within the Environment.

    This has been gone on for too long....and can we raise the Priority and create an APAR to integrate it before the end of the Year or lets beat the Coronavirus and you provide us with the z/OS PIPE Vaccine and will make so many customers happy.

    Keep Smiling and Give Smiles to Others!!

    This is effectively a duplicate of RFE 47699.
