using "call" for packaged procedure?

After moving a procedure into a package I discovered I can
no longer use "call" to invoke the procedure.

Can someone explain why this is?
Many TIA!


old code:

call p4_add(:typeid,:reposid,:depotFile,:rev,:tmstamp)

new code (broken):

call p4.add(:typeid,:reposid,:depotFile,:rev,:tmstamp)

ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column,table.column,
or column specification

new code (works):

begin p4asset.add(:typename,:repos,:depotFile,:rev); end

Are there typos in your posting?

Because if not, then the solution would be obvious:

CALL p4asset.add(:typename,:repos,:depotFile,:rev);
