You can also control whether an EXEC or a CP command having the same name is executed via the IMPCP setting. Having said that, if you ever do write EXECs having the same name as a CP command, may you be tarred and feathered, then drawn and quartered.
It is just these conflicts that make "address command" mandatory in EXECs. Without it, there is always ambiguity and uncertainty.

I have a situation where the EXEC and MODULE are named the same and are on the same mdisk. Is there a way, from the command line, that I can invoke the module and not the EXEC? Yes, I can move the MODULE to a different mdisk, RELease the the connection to the EXEC mdisk and invoke the module, but what about a situation where this cannot be done? Thanks, Steve G.
