Tommy,

Thanks for the suggestion.

The low level messages in the joblog already indicate the program name:

4>> call zzz_ph (foo bar)
    DSPLY  USERID USERID
    getph-withpw Error: CPF2204 FOO.
    Function check. CPF9898 unmonitored by ZZZ_PH at statement
0000009700,
      instruction X'0000'.
    The call to DIE ended in error (C G D F).

It's simply that I'd like the message to indicate the _caller_ instead
of the DIE procedure:
    The call to ZZZ_PH ended in error (C G D F).

Some folks won't bother to review second level text...
