Yes, you need to prototype the second module as a procedure. The CALL opcode
will only access a program object, not a service program (which contains
procedure modules) nor a bound in module.

As for the CALLB, can't tell from the info you supplied what is going on
there. The CALLP should be using a literal to identify the program, if you
are using a variable to id the procedure, then that variable must be a
procedure pointer type that has been set to the address of the desired
procedure. In other words, there are no "dynamic" procedure calls that are
not pointer based.
