The #+call: line syntax is a shortened syntax for code blocks.  They
recently got #+names, hopefully soon they will get #+header arguments as
well.  In the interum, you can always use a code block

    #+header: :var NO=(org-entry-get nil "Report_Dir")
    #+header: :var DIR=(org-attach-dir)
    #+call: ProvideReport()[:results silent]

can be replaced by

    #+header: :var NO=(org-entry-get nil "Report_Dir")
    #+header: :var DIR=(org-attach-dir)
    #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var result=ProvideReport() :results silent
      result
    #+end_src

Best,
