Find the calling program

Is there any way for an RPG to determine what program called it?  I am
writing a service program that writes records to a database and one of
the fields I want to store is the name of the program that asked the
service program to create the record. So PGMA calls PGMB that calls
SERVICEPGM I want SERVICEPGM to write a database record with PGMB in the
tracking field. I have done this many years ago but at that time I
passed a parameter to know who was requesting the service but then all
the code was mine and I trust my code :) This time a lot of people will
be using the service program and I would prefer not to let them pass me
anything they want.
