The deficiency of EXec is that it does not use the standard load module
search sequence for the member name. Someone should submit an RFE
for support of
EXec *(blah)
to use the standard exec search sequence for the member name similar
to what was doe for CALL within my memory:

CALL command operands
z/OS TSO/E Command Reference
SA32-0975-00
dsname
specifies the name of a PDS or a PDSE from which the program
is to be executed. If dsname is not fully qualified, it is
assumed to be 'prefix.dsname.LOAD'.
*
specifies that CALL should use the standard load module search
sequence for the member name.
