The EX(EC) command allocates the library according to several rules.
-- EX MYLIB(SCRIPT) attempts to run member SCRIPT in library
'tso-pref.MYLIB.CLIST'
-- EX MYLIB(SCRIPT) EXEC attempts to run member SCRIPT in library
'tso-pref.MYLIB.EXEC'
-- EX 'hlq.SOMELIB.PROC(SCRIPT)' attempts to run member SCRIPT in the library
exactly as named, no assumptions.
-- Parameters passed to the exec must be enclosed in single quotes. This means
that any single quotes passed in the parms must be doubled:
-- EX MYLIB(SCRIPT) 'DS(''hlq.a.b.c(member)'' ' These are two single quotes,
not a double quote. This can be a major typing challenge. Best executed from
another script.

No!

The EX command.

Or is the assumption that there's an optional
'prefix.SYSPROC(LOGON)'
and that failure of the EXEC command is tolerable.
