It's not in the "Trigger Information".

 The easiest way without API's (this is the second time I answered this) 
is;

In your *INZSR subroutine repeatedly call a CLP to retrieve the program
name of the caller.  You can "walk up the Stack" past the programs(OS/400's
that begin with "Q")  to the program you're looking for. 

Just call the below program repeatedly(in a loop in your *INZSR),  First time 
pass your trigger program name as the &CALLED, and who ever called your 
trigger will be returned in the &CALLER variable.  This will be a "Q" 
OS/400 program.  Call the CLP again this time pass what was returned the
first time to find out who called him, and so on.  up the stack till *EXT.

Stop when the program name(&CALLER) doesn't begin with a "Q". 
That's the program you want.

PGM    &CALLER &CALLED

DCL   &CALLER  *CHAR  10  
DCL   &CALLED  *CHAR  10
DCL   &M1KEY   *CHAR   4
DCL   &M1MDTA  *CHAR  80

SNDPGMMSG  MSG('TEST')  TOPGMQ(*PRV &CALLED) MSGTYPE(*RQS) KEYVAR(&M1KEY)

RCVMSG   PGMQ(*PRV &CALLED)  MSGKEY(&M1KEY)  SENDER(&M1MDTA)

CHGVAR   &CALLER    %SST(&M1MDTA  56 10)

ENDPGM
