This parameter is used to select the target host mode. Through the selection of host mode, a set of internal parameters that control the connection with the remote host application is chosen.
The following host modes are available:
| DPS8 | This mode is used when communicating with DPS8 TSS and DMIV/TP applications. |
| CXI | This mode is used when communicating with TP8 and other DPS8 applications that use CXI. |
| DN | This mode is used when communicating with the NOI on a front end machine. |
| DPS7 | This mode is always used when communicating with GCOS7 systems. |
| DPS6 | This mode is always used when communicating with GCOS6 systems through SNM. |
| ROUTER | This mode is used with GCOS6 NTM. May also be used to connect to Datanet applications. |
| UNIX | This mode is always used when communicating with another Unix system. Gmailer and GUFT can make such connections. |
| IBM | This mode is always used when communicating with IBM hosts through the Janus/OSF gateway (Datanet SNA gateway) in the Datanet. |
