<p>It looks like the manual is wrong here, too.</p>
<p>My vote is for NetRexx Pipelines to use the abbreviations, as
does the XEDIT model, and document the discrepancy.</p>

No problem, I remember well my complain.

<blockquote type="cite">I have just spent several hours going
through the IBM *CMS Pipelines User's

Guide and Reference /Version 7 Release 1/* (which as far as I

most recent) checking each documented stage and its aliases to
be sure our
<br>
system matched and was documented correctly. (The manual hides
aliases in
<br>
different places for different stages and does not index them.
And on some
<br>
stages puts the name in all lowercase instead of all upper.) I
found a couple
<br>
of stages where we do not yet have the shortened name aliases,
and will be
<br>
committing them and updated tests & documentation soon.

You spent several hours? Why didn't you use Pipelines? ;)
<br>
It took me two minutes to access "my mainframe" and take the
<br>
attached screen shot.

<br>
You'd like it, you said. Is the screen shot sufficient enough?

You probably know, every program with more than 15 lines has at
<br>
least one error, without fail. Same holds true for documentation.

Alas, up to now I did not see an errata for 'the Book'.

Woot? Likely a lame excuse, methinks. Please present an example
<br>
that explains when, how, why, and more about that break you
suspect.

Best,
