The TYPE parameter defines a symbolic name for the code loaded via FILESYSTYPE statement. This symbolic name is then used on other BPXPRMxx statements and on the MOUNT command to direct this statement or mount command to the correct code (or to associate it to the proper FILESYSTYPE statement, if you like). I'm not aware of a filesystem(type) that request a specific symbolic nae is assigned to it. You could name the HFS driver ANNA, the temporary file system BERTA and the zFS driver CARLA if you like. If you manage to use the correct name in every situation, the system will be happy with it. HFS, TFS, ZFS, etc, are reasonable name; I think one better sticks to these established names.
