External procedure call returns a value. Does it need to be a service program?

My first time in a *long* time developing a program that returns a value to
the calling program. Not quite connecting the dots.

d WrapText2 PR 12288 EXTPROC('UTPARSER')
d UnfText 8192 Varying Const Options(*VarSize)
d LineLen 5 0 Const
d LineBreak1 10 Varying Const Options(*NoPass)
d LineBreak2 10 Varying Const Options(*NoPass)

(I first tried EXTPGM instead of EXTPROC, but it got flagged with RNF3755
"The EXTPGM keyword is not allowed when a return value is specified.")

Using EXTPROC, there are no errors in the compiler, but the compile/bind
step fails with CPD5D02 "Definition not found for symbol 'UTPARSER'."

Per supervisor, we're trying to avoid having to use a binding directory.

Ideas / advice appreciated.
