PIPE FANINANY
Syntax
FANINANY:
FANINANY
Command Description
The FANINANY stage reads from each connected input stream and passes the
messages to a single output stream. Messages are passed in the order received
without regard to their input stream. This is different from FANIN which passes all
messages from a single input stream until it disconnects before passing messages
from the next connected input stream.
Streams
For example, if FANINANY has two input streams, messages from both the
primary and secondary input streams are passed to the output stream in the order
received.
Stream Type Number Supported
Input 10
Output 1
Termination Conditions
FANINANY terminates when all input streams disconnect or the output stream
disconnects.
Operand Descriptions
This stage has no operands.
Usage Notes
Examples
PIPE FANINANY
v FANINANY delays the data stream flowing through the pipeline. If the output
stream from FANINANY is used as an input stream to a second FANINANY, the
messages passing through the first FANINANY are delayed.
v To preserve the order of messages, code only one FANINANY stage in a
complex pipeline.
v FANINANY enables you to write output to a single stem variable from multiple
places within a single pipeline.
Example: Process a List of Names
In this example, a list of names is read from a data set member. All individuals
with the name SMITH are checked for the name TOMMY. All names containing
SMITH and TOMMY result in TOMMY being changed to TOM. The modified
names are input to FANINANY.
