The MI way is to MATINVS, step back in the documented materialized template
to the call stack entry you want, get the system pointer to the invocation
entry pgm, then MATPTR the pgm sysp to get the name and context ( library )
of the pgm.  Not a far fetched as it might appear. And it is also a
documented method that will work from release to release.

How is the library used to control mult env?  Does a dtaara holding config
info provide more functionality?   Can you not rely on the libl throughout
the transaction because you are jumping the dtaq boundary to another job and
losing the libl of the client?
