RE: Determining what library a CL program is called from?

[Tim McCarthy <TimM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're looking for a technique then what I do is materialize the
current invocation entry to get the invocation number, materialize the
previous invocation then materialize the program pointer to get the
program name and library. I have an MI program that does this but you
could do it in C too. If you want to use the other offered alternative
that uses spool file output (the overhead makes this unattractive) you
should be aware that this won't catch the situation where you've another
version of the program (same name) running out of a different library.
If you read backwards through the output that would help I suppose. Let
me know if/where you want it posted.
