'''CMS Pipelines''' is a feature of the [[VM/CMS]] [[operating system]] that allows the user to create and use a [[Pipeline (software)|pipeline]]. The programs in a pipeline operate on a sequential stream of records. A program writes records that are read by the next program in the pipeline. Any program can be combined with any other because reading and writing is done through a device independent interface.
