Note: For general information about TYPE=INITIAL macros, see TYPE=INITIAL (control section).
LDC=aa
Code this with a 2-character logical device code (LDC) mnemonic. This is associated with every logical unit identification, except for those for which an LDC mnemonic is specified on a DFHTLT TYPE=ENTRY macro.
SUFFIX=xx
The module name of the TLT is DFHTLTxx, where xx is a 1-or 2-character suffix. This provides unique identification for each TLT used. Because the names TLTBA, TLTBB, TLTBC, and TLTEA are used within the TLT, suffixes BA, BB, BC, and EA must not be used.

A TLT must have a suffix to be used by the message switching transaction, CMSG.
