To initialize a session by having the SLI wait for a BIND and SDT but allow SSCP access, set open.lua_init_type to LUA_INIT_TYPE_PRIM_SSCP. Rather than sending commands to the host to begin a session, the SLI allows the Windows LUA application to issue SLI_SEND and SLI_RECEIVE for the SSCP normal flow only. This allows the INITSELF commands or LOGON messages and responses to be transmitted between the Windows LUA application and the host. The application can have more than one INITSELF and LOGON message. For this type of session only, other SLI verbs can be issued before SLI_OPEN completes. When issuing SLI_SEND, an application should not specify any flow flag unless the application is sending a response, as specified in the lua_message_type parameter of SLI_OPEN. To obtain the INIT_COMPLETE status, the application must first issue SLI_OPEN, and then issue either SLI_BID or SLI_RECEIVE. The INIT_COMPLETE status notifies the application that the SLI_SEND and SLI_RECEIVE verbs for SSCP normal flow data can be issued.
