I don't get it.  "address"?  OS calls on the ST don't have addresses.
Where's your documentation?  If you don't have any, why not?

Forgive my presumption, but it seems possible that you have an illegal
copy of Atari's or somebody else's compiler without the documentation.
There is a mistake in Atari's (and therefore some other people's)
documentation of the Pexec call (using function code 4), but I'm not
about to tell you what it is.  Please get legitimate.  It's not even
that expensive for some of the compilers out there.

There is another possibility: you are writing assembly code with a PD
assembler, and you haven't bought any of the books describing the ST's
operating system.  In that case, BTFM! (BTFM = please go purchase a book.)
