Defines the minimum number of parallel sessions for a mode name group for a given remote logical unit of which this application program (the local logical unit) is guaranteed to be the contention winner and the remote logical unit is guaranteed to be the contention loser. A mode name group is a group of sessions for a given mode name.
The DMINWNL value must always be less than or equal to the DSESLIM value minus the DMINWNR value.
See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide and z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programmer's LU 6.2 Reference for information on how VTAM® negotiates the actual number of contention-winner sessions for this application (local logical unit).
