ABSTRACT:
Execution of input/output operations is controlled by one or more suspend and/or resume mechanisms. Suspension of an input/output operation is accomplished by one of a number of mechanisms including, for instance, a START SUBCHANNEL instruction with execution limits, a SUSPEND SUBCHANNEL instruction with or without a suspension time limit, or a suspend subchannel channel command word with or without a suspension time limit. Subsequent to suspending execution of a channel program, execution can be resumed automatically or by issuing a RESUME SUBCHANNEL instruction with limits or a resume subchannel channel command word with limits.
