       DAT_PSP_HANDLE, DAT_PZ_HANDLE, DAT_LMR_HANDLE, or DAT_RMR_HANDLE.

       The handle_type is one of the following handle  types:  DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_IA,  DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_EP,  DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_EVD,  DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_CR,
       DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_PSP, DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_RSP, DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_PZ, DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_LMR, DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_RMR, or DAT_HANDLE_TYPE_CNO.
