CMS knows that if a SET or QUERY command is not for itself, it passes it to CP for execution. This is also why you can stack the output from CP commands in CMS (i.e. "QUERY TIME (STACK", but not "CP QUERY TIME (STACK") , because CMS is passing the command to CP for you and stacking the result.
In any case, best practice is to start your exec with Address Command and proceed any CP commands with "CP", invoke execs using "EXEC", and make sure commands are in upper case.
