Keyword for subprogram call with absolute path name
Absolute path name beginning with "/", including
subprogram names
If no absolute path name is specified, PCALL behaves like
a standard subprogram call with a program identifier.
The program identifier is written without the leading _N_
and without an extension.
If the program name is to be programmed with leading
character and extension, then it must be explicitly
declared with leading character and extension using the
EXTERN command.
Actual parameters in accordance with the PROC operation
of the subprogram.
