Sv: Can a called-program identify the calling program?

I don't know any direct method for RPG-programs. But let RPG Program B
call CLP Program C. Now this cl program should send a program message to
(* *PRV). Then recieve it again (and as well remove it) while also
retrieving the 'sender' info. This includes the string 'PROGRAMB'.
Another msg sent to ('PROGRAMB' *PRV) and another recieve will give you
the string 'PROGRAMA'.

It's time for bed now (and takes 20 min to turn on my AS/400), but give
me a bib if you want more specific code.
