CALL isn't an SQL command.

The SQL statement is either a SELECT or an EXECUTE PROCEDURE statement,
depending on what kind of procedure it is.

If it is of the kind where the body is

FOR SELECT <column-list> FROM <set-specification> DO
begin
...
SUSPEND;
end

("selectable stored procedure") then the proc is called with
SELECT <output-list> from ProcName(arg1, arg2...argn)
where the args are your input parameters (either as constants or as
replaceable parameters)

If it is an executable SP, then

EXECUTE PROCEDURE ProcName(arg1, arg2...argn)
