It just so happens that CALLP can also call external programs through

prototype (CALLP doesn't always require a prototype so perhaps it is
mis-titled, now). Anyway, I'm just asking that CALLPRC also have the
ability to call external programs, but via a new parameter on the
command -- rather than having to make a much more extensive
modification to support full prototypes.

If the purpose of modifying CALLPRC is so you can use *OMIT for program
calls, it seems like it would be more straightforward to ask to use
*OMIT with the CALL command. I think it would be nicer to code
CALL PGM ('x' *OMIT 'y')
than
CALLPRC pgm ('x' *OMIT 'y') EXTPGM(*YES)

I would be in favor of either approach. I have added that as a
comment to the RFE. Thanks.
