Specifies the type of BIND command represented by this logon mode entry (bits 4–7 of byte 0 in the session parameter field). While only the values of 0 and 1 are defined, any hexadecimal value in the range 0–F can be specified. If 0 is specified, the logon mode entry represents session parameters that could be sent in a negotiable BIND. If 1 is specified, a non-negotiable BIND should be sent.
Specifying TYPE=0 (indicating a negotiable BIND entry) does not cause VTAM® to necessarily send a negotiable BIND to the secondary logical unit. The logon mode entry can indicate only that the secondary logical unit can support a negotiable BIND. The application program issuing the OPNDST macroinstruction must specify PROC=NEGBIND (in the node initialization block (NIB)) before VTAM will send a negotiable BIND command.
