Answer / krithiga hari
EXEC statement executes a program.
Syntax:
//stepname EXEC PGM=program name, keyword parameters
The various keyword parameters are
ACCT - accouning information for the job step
PARM - for supplying information to the associated cobol program
ADDRSPC - this indicates the system that the job step uses
virtual or real storage
DPRTY - dispatching priority
PERFORM - performance group for the job step
RD - automatic restart
COND - condition
REGION - default amount of workspace
TIME - time for the job to execute

Answer / vish
Just an addition to the Hari's answer, EXEC is used to call
a PROC to, apart from calling a PROGRAM.
//step01 EXEC PGM=XYZ
//step02 EXEC XYZ
in first example (step01) it's calling a program XYZ
In second example (step02) it's calling a PROC XYZ
Do let me know if anyone have some other thoughts, enjoy!
