ABSTRACT:
A method and system for pipelining the processing of channel command words is provided. The channel is permitted to send commands and data to the control unit for several channel command words associated with a channel program without having to wait for responses from the control unit for prior commands sent. The channel can pipeline several commands to the control unit and the control unit can then process the commands in the order it receives them. The control unit sends responses to the channel for each command it receives acknowledging receipt of the commands.
