(ob disclaimer... I don't use Procomm, but...)

Time to RTFM... the modem manual, though. 

If your modem is similar to mine (and most Hayes-compats I've used), the
command string is limited to 40 characters. ATD+37 looks to be 40.

There's a workaround, I suppose, that I've used. Ending your command
string with a ; will keep the modem in command mode. Thus, you could do

ATD[20 or so digits];
ATD[another 20 or so];
ATD[the rest of them]

and after the first 2 commands, you will remain in command mode.
