CMS is not very amenable to that sort of manipulation. When you invoke
an
exec, the exec will seem to "disappear" from the normal command search
order. That is, if TEST EXEC contains
address CMS "TEST"
it will get RC= -3.
So if you want to invoke an exec of the same name, you must explicitly
use
the EXEC command. But if you want to avoid invoking the same exec, you
need to EXECLOAD the right one!
It also means that you have to know whether you're invoking an EXEC or a
MODULE. Well, you don't HAVE to, but that just means adding more code
to
respond to the EXECLOAD failure.

IOCP EXEC:
/* This exec front-ends the IOCP EXEC on the S-disk */
arg parms
address Command
"EXECLOAD IOCP EXEC S"
"EXEC IOCP" parms
src = rc
if src = 0 then do
/* whatever you want */
end
"EXECDROP IOCP"
exit src
