If I understand you correctly.
What you need to do is
Go to the TQSL module
File>Preferences
Select ADIF Modes
Click on 'ADD'
JT65A into the adif mode box
You can then scroll down and select DATA or JT65 as the mode that will be 
credited.

I am always confused by all the modes designations as I think...ARRL really 
only classifies communication as by Fone, CW, Data with SCTV being consided 
a fone mode and all the various flavors of digital as being a DATA mode.
(I always thought it funny, that if you exchanged pictures with a station on 
Scarborough Reef, it would count as a fone contact for DXCC)LOL
But I guess if they did it any other way they would have to print dozens of 
different award certificates.
I know the poor data entry people at the DXCC Desk have enough trouble 
trying to decipher the scribbling on qsl cards now, much less discerning all 
the various submodes. Which is why I use Joes' qsl cards with the picture of 
a cw key, microphone, or teletype machine.

Maybe someone can explain it better to me.
