Abstract
A method and means for CPU accessing a staged storage subsystem in which rules defining computation of the storage system addresses are distributed with the data, the rules and storage access being interpreted by the sub-system. The method uses local storage address computation in the DASD array context rather than CPU address list generation as has occurred in the prior art.
