by networker save command ?

Subject: [Networker] Backing up via "Named Pipe / FIFO"

Has anyone berformed a successful backup with networker using a named
pipe, 
AND NOT using "rawasm" in the directive.  With Netbackup, this was 
performed successfully by coding the following.  So I am looking for 
assistance in accoomplishing the same thing in Networker.

Thank You in advance.

#!/bin/ksh 

date 

timestamp=$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S') 
EDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/admin/${ORACLE_SID}/exp 
exportlogfile=$EDIR/exp_mrlnwhp_testcase_1_$timestamp.log 
bpbackuplogfile=$EDIR/bpbackup_mrlnwhp_testcase_1_$timestamp.log 

pipename=$EDIR/mrlnwhp_testcase_1.pipe 
if [[ -a $pipename ]] then 
   rm $pipename 
fi 

mkfifo $pipename 

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/exp / file=$pipename log=$exportlogfile consistent=N \ 
   compress=n recordlength=65535 direct=Y \ 
   tables=mis.limit_additional_cr& 

sleep 5 

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpbackup \ 
   -c Oracle_fs -s Daily \ 
   -L $bpbackuplogfile -w -k "mrlnwhp_testcase_1_$timestamp" $pipename 
wait

rm $pipename
