    Abstract: These occur between a processing unit with a host processor and a host memory and one or more input and output units, each designated by a number that is part of the I/O instruction carried through one or more channels with the processing unit. The host memory has a control region containing the control data for the I/O units and these control data have a recognition mark for the operation to be carried out between the I/O unit and the processing unit and a mark (CHPID) for one or more channels.

    Abstract: A computer program product is provided for performing: sending, by a channel subsystem, a process login (PRLI) request message to the control unit that indicates whether the channel subsystem supports bi-directional data transfer; receiving a PRLI response message from the control unit that indicates whether the control unit supports bi-directional data transfer; gathering a plurality of commands, at least one which specifies an input data transfer and at least one specifying an output data transfer; sending at least one output data message to the control unit including output data to be transferred to the control unit, the output data message associated with the at least one of the plurality of commands specifying an output data transfer; and receiving at least one input message from the control unit including input data to be stored in a main storage of the host computer system.

    Abstract: A computer program product is provided for performing input/output (I/O) processing. The computer program product is configured to perform: generating and storing in local channel memory at least one address control word (ACW) specifying one or more host memory locations for data transfer and including a data discard field; generating an address control structure specifying a local channel memory location of a corresponding ACW; receiving one or more data transfer requests from a network interface that each corresponding address control structure information; accessing an ACW and routing the data transfer request to a host memory location specified in the ACW; and responsive to encountering an error during at least one of the accessing and the routing, discarding the one or more data transfer requests and setting the data discard field to a value configured to instruct a channel to discard any subsequent data transfer requests associated with the ACW.
