In RSX, SUBMIT would be something placed in a batch queue, but EXECUTE 
would be something that was run directly, if I remember right. (I could 
be confused.) You do not need a user context in the same sense under RSX 
in order to run programs. Such program would be run under the console 
terminal.

Not sure about VMS.
