(a) relies on a distinguished part of the namespace, and as
such is akin to invoking an EXEC from the distinguished
DDNAME SYSEXEC.
(b) relies on a distinctive calling sequence, and as such is
akin to invoking an EXEC via the Rexx API.
Neither of these requires a leading language indicator in z/OS.
In situations where the context does not so indicate the language,
(as from SYSPROC in TSO/E, or from PATH in z/OS Unix), a leading
indicator of the language is generally required.
