Method, system, and program for indicating data transmitted to an input/output device as committed

摘要

Provided is a method, system, and program for maintaining status information on data transmitted to an output device. Data is transmitted to an Input/Output (I/O) device. The I/O device stores the transmitted data in a computer readable medium memory. A determination is made as to whether a fixed amount of data exceeding a threshold was transmitted. An indication is made that transmitted data equivalent to the fixed amount was successfully outputted from the computer readable medium after determining that the fixed amount of data exceeding the threshold was transmitted.
