Interestingly enough, I just noticed this myself last week. I checked with
development, and they pointed me to APAR IC13383 which documents the addition
of the 25th field. This field is for the client type. Here is some of the
pertinent APAR text:

      Need to display session type in the accounting record
      Field 25 has been added to the accounting record to report
      session type.  Valid values are numeric:

        1 or 4 = general client session
             5 = scheduling session
