36 A variable error occurred in looking up the given variables.

48 RESTART=YES has been specified and the NCL process is not running in a
background environment.
52 RESTART=CONDITIONAL has been specified and the NCL process is running but
not in a background environment, and therefore not as a persistent NCL process.
If you specify NOTIFY=YES, the following values may be set for the &SYS.FDBK
system variable, depending on the value of the &SYS.RETCODE system variable:
Value of
&SYS.RETCODE
Value of
&SYS.FDBK
16 Guardian error code.
36 NCL error code.
If you specify NOTIFY=YES, the &SYSMSG variable contains the NCL ID of the
started NCL process.
If you specify NOTIFY=NO, the &SYS.RETCODE system variable always contains 0
(zero), even if the target NCL procedure was not successfully started.
Additionally, the value of &SYSMSG is not affected.

MS Command Reference Manual.
There is no EXEC verb.
