* scan. If not found then the users default XEDIT profile is used
* for that scan. For information on what is required in this profile
* see HELP XEDIT SCHANGE. NOTE, filetype **really** is $XEDIT,
* **not** XEDIT. Program renames, in storage, to $PIPEFIN XEDIT
* before using. This avoids the situation where, when invoking the
* exec from the XEDIT command line, you have to precede the
* invocation with the word EXEC.
*
* PIPEFIND REXX * Obsolete as of release 3.00
*
* Dependencies....
*
* Program was developed and tested on CMS 10, results on a system with
* a CMS of lower level are unpredictable. If you experience problems
* then use the IUO version of PIPES.
* Some function is dependent on the use of IUO PIPES, you are given
* a warning message if you attempt use of these functions and the
* necessary PIPES level is not available.
* TERSED files will be handled transparently if you have the
* UNPACKX stage, which as of writing is in the PIPSYSF MODULE.
* If you have the PICK stage then DATE discrimination will be done at
* the individual append level within a FORUM-type file.
* The DBCS option requires the support of the PIPEDBCS PACKAGE, which
* can be found on VMTOOLSB.
*
