Subject:      Pipelined SAS? Has anyone tried it?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Has anyone herad of or tried running multiple SAS steps in parallel with
UNIX pipes between them to avoid the writing of temp files? (I  realize
this would not work for things requiring indices or sorting) Also, has
anyone compared using an optimized data reader filling named pipes to
allow multiple SAS programs to feed from the same file without
contention?
