A computer program product for processing input/output (I/O) data is provided for performing a method, which includes receiving a control word having an indirect data address including a starting location of a list of storage addresses, gathering the data and transmitting gathered data to a control unit in the I/O processing system. Gathering includes accessing an entry of the list, the entry located at an entry storage location and including an address. Based on the entry of the list indicating that the address is a data address, data is gathered from a data storage location, and a next entry of the list is accessed. Based on the entry of the list indicating that the address is an address of a next entry of the list, the next entry of the list is obtained from another storage location that is located non-contiguously to the entry storage location. |
