}} to override or augment many of the system security and data integrity checks. Most of these appendages are supported for compatibility with earlier instances of the OS, but the functions of several have been modified or extended for MVS. The appendages are specified in the DCB as the last two characters of the module name IGG019xx, where xx = WA to Z9, inclusive. These module names are reserved for installation-written appendages. Any other name of the form IGG019xx is reserved for use by IBM access methods.
==Dataset integrity==
Line 35 ⟶ 90:
==Legacy datasets only==
EXCP is sometimes confused with a direct access storage device access method, but it is not for direct access storage devices exclusively; rather, it is a general purpose low-level device access interface which supports any ''legacy'' device type and any ''legacy'' dataset organization. For accessing ''all'' device types and ''all'' dataset organizations, the more general privileged [[Start Input/Output]] interface (STARTIO) is available in MVS/370 and subsequent instances of the OS although it is not an officially supported interface.

Line 49 ⟶ 104:
==Channel programs==
System/360 channel programs are a sequence of commands which are executed by the channel and the I/O device. Channel programs can be located anywhere in main storage. The channel program is a sequence of ''Channel Command Words'' (CCWs), which may be executed sequentially unless a branch, called ''Transfer In Channel'' (TIC), is executed, or the channel returns a [[IBM System/360 architecture#CSW Status modifier|status modifier]]. Each CCW is a doubleword (eight bytes) as follows:

Six commands are defined, in the low-order bits of the command field (0-7). The high-order four (or six) bits are ''modifiers'' ('M') for some commands, or are ignored. The commands are:
