The online CL reference works for me;

To use *SRVPGMs, you need to be using ILE/CL (CLLE member types) obviously,
and the CALLPRC command (explained in the above book chapter 3).

If this (and it probably will) is a non-os400 *SRVPGM you are trying to bind
your ILE/CL program to, you'll need to use the two-step compile & bind
approach. To do this, use CRTCLMOD then use CRTPGM, filling in the blanks
for your module and library information. On the CRTPGM command there is a
parameter (BNDSRVPGM) for listing *SRVPGMs (such as the Vertex *SRVPGM) to
search & bind to for external procedures.

Hope this helps,
