Ah, the good old days! I was on Tandem's before TACL, and really appreciated
it when it was introduced.

You're an old Tandem/NSK man, Bob. We could do this in TACL. What was it,
#ROUTINENAME? Something like that. And in TAL, not only could you read the
Call Stack to see who called the current procedure, but you could also
modify the Call Stack and the variables before the beginning of the local
stack storage to have one procedure return to a procedure different that
the one that called it. I never found a good practical reason to send the
return to different proc, but I sure had fun writing code to do it. Just
for amusement, of course.

It sure would, as would a property that tells you the calling procedure.

Thanks Bob!
Your method is also an option for me.
It would have been a nice feature though...

What I do is to create a global variable, and set it at the head of
each
procedure, painful, but I know of no better way.

Hi, i just made a small sub 'logError' that writes the date, time,
err.Number and err.Description to a specified worksheet. I also want
to write the name of the Sub or Function that caused the error to be
raised...
Now i have to change the parameter each time i'm using the statement
'logError Date, Time, Err.Number, Err.Description, "name for sub or
function" '.
Can someone tell me if there's a variable to use that has the name of
a self made sub or function?
I hope the question is clear enough...
Thanks
