That's the problem. Not PGM=UNIX_thing specifically but that there are so many special cases. One could not simply write an introductory paragraph "When we say executable we mean any of ..." because then EXEC PGM=executable would be incorrect; we would have to say PGM=executable* and *except a UNIX executable. You end up with documentation that may be technically correct but reads like gibberish.
