Hi David,

Why not include the following at the beginning of your program ?

RTVOBJD OBJ(*LIBL/program_name)  OBJTYPE(*PGM) RTNLIB(&Library) 

Where RTNLIB = "Specifies the name of a variable used to return the
name of the library that contains the object. In a CL program, the
variable returned has a length of 10 characters. If *LIBL or *CURLIB
is specified for the library name on the OBJ parameter, the value
returned is the name of the library where the object was found."


HTH,

Chris
