We are using this information for logging and audit purposes. We are creating an interface program that may be called by hundreds of other programs. We were looking for a simple way to log which program called the interface program just in case that type of information would be needed if the interface program abended or had problems.

Presumably program B intends to work differently if called by program A. There are really two ways to do this correctly: 1) have the calling parameters for invoking program B contain some kind of a processing indicator; or, 2) create two separate programs and call the correct one from the calling program. -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
