Calling program name

My favorite solution is to send a scout message to the previous program with SNDPGMMSG. Then use RCVMSG to receive and remove it specifying the SENDER return parameter. If you press F1=Help on the SENDERFMT parameter it will give you the layout of the returned data. The name you want is the "sent-to call stack entry", which is IBM-speak for the calling program. Hope this helps.

Hi Robert, You can use API QWVRCSTK to retrieve the names of the programs in the call stack. The entries are loaded into a 1980 byte field called StackEntries. I posted code below. The program code is a called program that determines programs in the call stack. Tom.
