In German, we use "aufrufen", which means "to call up" if you translate it fragment-by-fragment, and in pre-computer times would (as far as I know) only be understood as "to call somebody up by their name or nummer" (like a teacher asking a student to speak or get up) when used with a direct object (as it is for functions).

It's also separate from the verb for making a phone call, which would be "anrufen".

Interesting! Across the lake in Sweden we do use "anropa" for calling subprograms. I've never heard anyone in that context use "uppropa" which would be the direct translation of aufrufen.

Same in Dutch. “Oproepen” means “to summon”. We would use “aanroepen”.
