Abstract: Partial difference sets (for short, PDSs) with parameters ($n^2$, $r(n-epsilon)$, $epsilonn+r^2-3epsilonr$, $r^2-epsilonr$) are called Latin square type (respectively negative Latin square type) PDSs if $epsilon=1$ (respectively $epsilon=-1$). In this paper, we will give restrictions on the parameter $r$ of a (negative) Latin square type partial difference set in an abelian group of non-prime power order. As far as we know no previous general restrictions on $r$ were known. Our restrictions are particularly useful when $a$ is much larger than $b$. As an application, we show that if there exists an abelian negative Latin square type PDS with parameter set $(9p^{4s},r(3p^{2s}+1),-3p^{2s}+r^2+3r,r^2+r)$, $1lerlefrac3p^{2s}-12$, $pequiv1pmod4$ a prime number and $s$ is an odd positive integer, then there are at most three possible values for $r$. For two of these three $r$ values, J. Polhill gave constructions in 2009.
