Summary: WinXP DOS pipes and REXXC fail

Initial Comment:
This little program run on IBM Object REXX Interpreter
Version 2.1.2 Build date: Dec  2 2002 on WinXP SP1 in a
DOS window.

/* */
say "before: queued() =" queued()
say "before: lines()  =" lines()
"RXQUEUE"
say "after:  queued() =" queued()
say "after:  lines()  =" lines() 

I've done filetype associations so that  the compiled
filetype is associated with rexx.exe

If I REXXC the program, and run it by

   DIR | REXX pgm

I get a non-zero number displayed.

but if I run it

   DIR | pgm

I get 0 displayed.  The fact that I get 0
displayed confirms that the program ran.

Message:
I'm closing this as either invalid or a duplicate.  It is a duplicate of a
recent bug.

The opener of the bug states:

"I've done filetype associations so that the compiled
filetype is associated with rexx.exe"


As explained in bug: 

2801414  Problems with redirection?  

in Windows, programs started through the file association are started by
the operating system using either ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx() and
these functions do not set up stdin, stderr, and stdout handles.  Because
of this redirection is not possible.

The opener of the bug really just confirms that, when started correctly,
the interpreter supports redirection as it should.  By started correctly I
mean started in a manner where redirection is possible.

As he states, DIR | rexx pgm works and DIR | pgm does not work.  This is
to be expected.
