I think you've mistaken EXEC(UTE) with START or @
Execute
Executes a single PL/SQL statement. The EXECUTE command is often useful when you want to execute a PL/SQL statement that references a stored procedure.
Start
STA[RT] {url | file_name[.ext] } [arg...]
Runs the SQL*Plus statements in the specified script. The script can be called from the local file system or from a web server. Only the url form is supported in iSQL*Plus. You can pass values to script variables in the usual way.
Here's a copy/paste of a test:
the file (some_long_name_with_many_characters.sql)
set serverout on
Begin
  dbms_output.put_line('A line of text...');
End;
/The SQL*Plus session:
SQL> exec some_long_name_with_many_characters.sql
BEGIN some_long_name_with_many_characters.sql; END;
