Glad I still have a machine with 6.2 on it to test this.
(ducks as Tony hurls a "hey, you should upgrade!" email at me :)

You likely want something like

function! PM_Insert_Code(function_name)
echo 'About to call '.(a:function_name)
call {a:function_name}()
echo 'Returning from '.(a:function_name)
endfunction

function! MyFunc()
echo 'Calling MyFunc()'
endfunction

call PM_Insert_Code('MyFunc')

which you can read about at

:help curly-braces-names
:h curly-braces-function-names

It's ripe for abuse, but there are times like this where it's
*exactly* what you need.
