Re: Get name of current procdeure

Scott,
I have a service program that is processing various types of data input and 
returning a formatted string.
If the procedure being called encounters an error, I send back a return code to 
the caller.
I am enhancing that to send a message to QHIST and the users job log.
One of the parms I am passing to my generic logging routine is the name of the 
procedure the error occured in.
Currently, I am hard coding it, but would like to be able to have a variable 
that I can pass instead.  This way, if I clone one of the procedures, I do not 
have to remember to change the name in the error handling code.
 
Thanks,

The subprocedure name is in the callstack. You can use an API to get 
retrieve the call stack entries, or you can send a message to yourself and 
see who it came from :)

Neither of these are ideal or perform particularly well.

What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe I'd have some better suggestions 
if I knew the business problem you were trying to solve...
