What predicate?

The format_call pragma does not exist in mercury 22.01, which is what
you seem to be using there.

The very first entry in the post 22.01 NEWS file says:

* The predicates `read_term/3`, `read_term/4`, `read_term_with_op_table/4`,
  `read_term_with_op_table/5` have been removed from the `term_io` module
  of the Mercury standard library.

The replacements are in the library module mercury_term_parser.
