External stored procedure on IBM i

Question

I am trying to create an external stored procedure on IBM I (V5R4), but I get an error when I try to start it.

All I want to do is call the RPG program without passing any parameters or without worrying about returning any data. Sorry, I'm not an RPG programmer or an IBM i expert, so I might be missing out on something very simple.

SQL to create the procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE SOMELIB.SOMEPROC ( ) 

    LANGUAGE RPGLE 

    NOT DETERMINISTIC 

    NO SQL
    EXTERNAL NAME 'OTHERLIB/SOMERG' 

    PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL; 

Error executing CALL SOMELIB.SOMEPROC ():
