Resolution

The LOAD, UNLOAD or RELOAD don't show in the primary options menu as they can only run in batch job.

Despite of that, utility programs C1BML000(initial load) and C1BM5000(unload/reload) perform security checks under the PRIMARY_OPTIONS security control point to see whether the user is authorized to run the utility.

For these checks, MENUITEM keyword in the NAMEQU PRIMARY_OPTIONS macro resolves to LOAD(for C1BML000) and to UNLOAD or RELOAD for the C1BM5000 utility.
