Is there a way, to detect inside of a trigger program, what program
actually triggered the trigger? I looked in the PSDS but didn't see
anything readily apparent. Positions 334-343 of psds return the name of
the trigger program itself.

A trigger is a normal program that gets called by the database manager. The PSDS won't behave differently in a trigger -- it'll still have the name of the program itself (not the name of who called it) in those positions. Just like it always does.

What I want to do is assign a trigger *AFTER *READ that will identify
inside the trigger program the program that performed the read event.
