The advantage of the LOAD suffix is that it can save typing
in certain circumstances.

If you have a program called PROG1 in HUDSON.GO.LOAD
and your TSO session is running with a PROFILE PREFIX value
of HUDSON, as a HUDSON TSO userid might reasonably have,
then the TSO command
CALL 'HUDSON.GO.LOAD(PROG1)'
can be reduced to
CALL GO(PROG1)

In that sense, the LOAD suffix for load modules is a TSO
convention, as are other suffixes for other data types,
such as CNTL, CLIST, OBJ, etc.
