Redirect some outputs to STDOUT when called from PASE with system

To help integrate PASE with QSYS programs it would be great to include *STDOUT as an OUTPUT() parameter.

As an additional feature/parameter for Spool and SAV* commands could output to Standard Output when call from PASE.


Use Case:

We could create interesting scripts using this *STDOUT feature:

* Send saved data to IFS file , redirect to gzip+SSH , Python program, etc
* Work with output data from spool when there's no *OUTFILE option
* Integrate data from QSYS with an almost native way.

    Hi,

    Yes:
    Backup commands (SAV*)
    SNDSPLF
    CPYSPLF
    CPYTOSTMF
    CPYTOIMPF
    DSPJRN
    RUNSQL/RUNSQLSTMT
    DSPDTAARA

    And , when possible, receive from STDIN:

    RST*
    CHGDTAARA
    RUNSQL
    CPYFRMIMPF


    The main idea is to bring pipping power to IBMi and allow to combine QSYS commands with Open Source and PASE commands in a AIX/Linux-Like way.

    Thank you

    This request looks like it could potentially involve updates to many commands. Are there certain commands that would be more useful than others, or do you have a list of which commands which should be considered first?
