About: Execute Channel Program in Real Storage

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In IBM mainframe operating systems, Execute Channel Program in Real Storage (EXCPVR) is a macro generating a system call, implemented as a Supervisor Call instruction, for low-level device access, where the programmer is responsible for providing a list of device-specific CCWs, that is, a channel program, to be executed by I/O channels, control units and devices. Additionally, the programmer is expected and required to ensure that the input/output data areas are in real storage and are "fixed", either prior to invoking EXCPVR or via the page fix appendage. EXCPVR can in some situations provide improved performance compared to EXCP.
