This might generate a whole new thread. We have used '--' for IODF suffix
for as long as generic specifications have been available. We chose '--'
because, in the event that the exact matching IODF cannot be found, we
figure that the 'most recent' IODF would give us the best chance of coming
up far enough to fix the problem. Our practice to name successive IODFs by
incrementing the suffix. Therefore, we want to search *backwards* for the
closest version. From Init and Tuning:
If minuses ('--') are specified and a valid IODF name is found in the
hardware token, but is not found in the search or cannot be used, IODF
selection is made in the following order:
Search for the next available IODF starting with the current IODF suffix
number minus one and search down to X'00' If none is found, the search
continues from X'FF' down to the current number plus one.
Select the first IODF that has both a processor definition in the IODF
that matches the currently active hardware definition, and a matching
operating system configuration identifier.
If no matching IODF token is found, select the first IODF that has a
matching operating system configuration identifier.
If no matching operating system configuration identifier is found, a wait
state is loaded.

BTW: You don't have to update your LOAD anytime you change IODF. It is
enough to place ++ instead of IODF sufix.
